Hillier Creek Gamay Noir 2009

Evocative of red Burgundy with aromas of sour cherry, cranberry, shoe leather, rose petals and pine bough. Incredibly delicate and supple, with a lovely ethereal quality. Shows a cured meat character on the finish. A contemplative, wine-lover's Gamay to enjoy now till 2016. At this price it's a perfect choice for casual summer picnic foods, too.
