Mt. Boucherie Estate Collection Gamay Noir 2004

From Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery in Kelowna.

Opened this up on a Sunday night after a long, hard day's work in the yard. Nose of this Gamay Noir jumps out at us like a bunch of cloves in mulled wine. There was a gentle spice on the tongue, and a touch of personality to this VQA wine. Personally, after a glass I was done. Maybe I was too tired, but this selection left me flat. Mike liked it much more than me, probably because it made him think of Christmas parties or something.
