Hidden Bench Gamay 2022

What a lovely gamay – certainly among the ripest and best yet from Hidden Bench as it gears up its gamay program with the use of new concrete fermenters. It has more colour depth than expected and generous aromas of strawberry/cherry fruit, soft florals and subtle oak. It is light to medium bodied, nicely composed and effortlessly balanced with fine acidity and tannin. The length is excellent. A class act. Tasted October 2024. Score – 92.
