BTF's Gamay Noir (the same version of the grape that's found in Beaujolais) is a fresh, fruity version of this difficult and misunderstood variety. And while it's a lighter, fruitier red, it's by no means simple, sweetish or reeking of bananas and bubblegum, like so many versions that have turned off wine lovers for years. There's a typical cranberry snap to the fruit here, with excellent acidity and even a bit of minerality adding complexity. When Gamay is done this well, we much prefer it to Finger Lakes Pinot Noir, and it makes a great all-purpose wine for celebrations and holiday tables featuring a wide array of foods and flavors.
