Gold Star Gamay 2018

Our expert Clare loves tracking down exciting and unique wines for our fans to try, especially if she can find it at a fantastic price. She jumped at the chance to taste a super-rare Gamay crafted by one of Napa’s top outfits.

Gamay is the famed grape of Beaujolais, beloved for its silky, red-fruit flavor and serious freshness. The cool, foggy hills of Napa Valley make a terrific home, too, and many top estates are experimenting quite successfully with it. It’s still uncommon to find single-varietal bottlings of it without searching far and wide (and paying a pretty penny).

To snap up this delicious exclusive at such a smart price, Clare had to promise to keep the name of the winery secret. They’ve won a multitude of 100-point scores from the legendary Robert Parker and their customers are used to paying much more for their fine releases.

“It’s everything that’s so beloved about Napa and this gorgeous little French grape, all wrapped up in one bottle,” says Clare. We call it Gold Star and it’s just as classy as a Cru Beaujolais. Look forward to aromas of baking spice and rose petals, followed by a lush and lively palate of bramble berries.

Only one limited shipment. Get your Gamay on, before it’s gone.
