Farr Rising - Gamay - 2023

I am going to say it, which I don’t find easy to do.  This could be the best Gamay I have made Nick Farr, Winemaker This is the tenth release of Farr Rising Gamay, and if ever asked about his approach to sites on the property, Nick will always say that it takes him 10 years to truly understand the variety that is planted on each soil type, and for the vines to truly express themselves through vine age and root depth.  Either that or he is simply a very slow learner! It is 10 years of not only understanding the site viticulturally, but the capabilities of the fruit and wine making processes in the winery.  There is not much Nick hasn’t tried stylistically and operationally, but for those that have been drinking previous vintages, the evolution has led to this wine.  Soft, gamey, spice, a density that holds in the mid palate until the acidity takes you to a deceptive and vibrant finish.
