Arnot-Roberts 2023 Gamay Noir El Dorado

This comes from two vineyards in the Sierra Foothills, Barsotto and Witters Vineyards, which both sit between two and three thousand feet in elevation. It is fermented with 100% whole clusters with partial carbonic maceration, basket pressed to foudre and neutral French oak barrels and aged ten months. It's a lively and energetic wine with fresh red berry fruit and some cooling herbs, delightfully quaffable but still with substance. Best served with a slight chill on its own or alongside chicken or vegetable dishes.
