Outward Wines Presqu'ile Vineyard Gamay 2023 Review
Another stunning expression of Gamay, this bottle comes from the Presqu’ile Vineyard in Santa Barbara’s windswept Santa Maria Valley area. Though it’s still medium-bodied and refreshing, this bottling shows a peek into the more serious side of Gamay. Aromas of black peppercorns, herbs, cherry, and vanilla fill the nose. The palate brings juicy raspberry and watermelon notes, still tinged with a savory kick. This is the wine for when you’re looking for something easy-drinking that still delivers on complexity.
