Recognition
From an award-winning Colorado winemaker, we are excited to bring you this amazing new wine! The Colorado wine scene is making a name for itself growing grapes at elevation with an abundance of sunny days, cool nights, and low humidity. We’ve wanted to bring you a wine from another region (other than CA) for quite some time but just hadn’t found the perfect wine. When we were offered to get our hands on this, we jumped at the chance to make the trip over to taste, knowing this winemaker and their successes. We know you’ll love it!
Tasting Notes
Gamay is the well-known wine grape of the Beaujolais region in France. This Gamay Noir is a light-body red wine with medium acidity and low to no tannins. You could compare this to a Pinot Noir, but this one is a bit lighter than our 2016 Pinot Noir, as we think of that one as a Cab-lover’s Pinot.
On the nose, you’ll get candied cherry and pomegranate. Despite the fruity first impression, the taste of the complexity and finish is anything but. The light body, yet lingering peppery finish is quite surprising. The raspberry and cranberry notes are perfectly balanced with an earthiness and slight minerality.
Try room temp, but also lightly chilled! This wine is incredibly versatile for wine pairings! Perfect summer red, but enjoyed year-round!

Meet the Artist
Agostina is an architect who graduated from the National University of Cordoba, Argentina (2017) and is a self-taught artist. She specializes in highly detailed drawings mostly using the Stippling technique.
In 2018, she started a journey that would change her life forever. A year-and-a-half road trip from the USA to Argentina, visiting 14 countries across North and South America. The complete freedom, the constant change of scenery, and the endless amount of time for herself with a pen and notebook in her hands documenting the trip made her into the artist she is today.
When not drawing, she might be playing in the snow, reading, planning her next trip, or walking in the woods with her camera.
Her life goal: visit every corner of the world, and of course, draw it.

More Wines You Might Like…
2016 Russian River Syrah
-
This wine is everything that Syrah should be - bold without being jammy. On the nose, concentrated blackberries. The big fruit is structured with medium tannins and hints of bacon fat and white pepper on the finish.
Best paired with: Grilled meats & vegetables (lamb is the classic pairing), beef stew, comfort food and a cool fall evening.
2016 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
-
On the nose, dark red fruit and hillside florals explode from the glass. This full-bodied pinot boasts blackcurrants, plum, vanilla and a touch of black pepper on the finish. The finish is impressively long – a fantastic wine!
Best paired with: Friends who like to drink exceptional red wine and anything from cool nights & campfires to warm summer sunsets by the lake. Veggies-on-the-grill, shrimp-and-grits, hamburgers, or even your local butcher’s best cut of filet mignon, this wine has the ability to complement nearly anything you care to cook Monday-Sunday. It has a foundation that will make it a much-loved favorite and the complexity that will impress even your most diehard Cabernet-loving friends.
2021 Petit Verdot
-
Long known as a supporting cast member, the Petit Verdot varietal is full-bodied with ample character and has been the behind-the-scenes player in some of the world’s most coveted blends, particularly in the Bordeaux region of France.
Recently, however, some of the more progressive winemakers in the world have begun to recognize this grape’s true value and are making it the star of the show. Boy did we luck up and get connected with one of the best upcoming (and progressive) winemakers in California on this one! Featuring a fantastic bouquet and notes of black cherry, blackberry, and violet. This is a super smooth fruit-forward wine, with high tannins on the finish. And at this price point, we think this Petit Verdot could quite possibly be the perfect Tuesday night wine!
