Scott Schultz is on the short-list of winemakers to keep a close eye on in California. After stints at Pax, Wind Gap andamp; Arnot-Roberts, he is a one-man operation making some exciting stuff in Sebastopol. This Gamay comes from high elevation vineyards on the red granitic soils of the Sierra Foothills. Whole cluster fermentation lends an appealing lifted aspect. Effusively aromatic and delicious, this is a charming counterpoint to Beaujolais.

Clean, soft expression of gamay - definitely New World feel. Some black currant on the palate.

Needs a bit of time to open up but ends up being very fruity with notes of red berries and herbs
