gah-MAY | If you're looking for a unique and delicious wine, you won't want to miss the opportunity to try wines made with Gamay. This purple-colored grape variety is commonly grown in Beaujolais, but is also widely grown in the Loire Valley where it is typically blended with Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Gamay is characterized by its unique flavor profile, which includes notes and aromas of raspberry, cherry, black pepper, and even banana nose of the Cabernet Franc. When properly ripened and vinified, Gamay produces wines that are light and refreshing, with a bright acidity and a subtle fruitiness.
