This Gamay reflects the elegance and power from Ribbon Ridge, and a profile that Cru Beaujolais lovers will appreciate. The wine has a medium-garnet color with aromatics of green peppercorn staccato, spicy tobacco, cedar, and dried cherry accents, adding depth to a more persistent black cherry and chocolate core. Next, we envision biting a fresh, ripe, dusty plum, sensing the velvety sweet flesh of the fruit, and the clean, bright finish, accented with acid that is crisp and precise. Best served slightly chilled with your favorite wood fired pizza or grilled meats, or around the Thanksgiving table as a perfect complement to turkey and all the fixins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Ridgecrest Old Vine Estate Gamay Noir 2019\" href=\"https:\/\/ridgecrestwines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/19GNRC-tech-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTech Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ridgecrest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46771198394627,"sku":"P192017","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/6918\/6563\/files\/RCGamayNoir2019.png?v=1747245199"},{"product_id":"terminin-cepages-dor-alder-spring-2021-750ml","title":"Terminim Cepages D'or Alder Spring 2021 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003e50.4% Marsanne, 31.2% Roussanne, 9.5% Picpoul and 8.9% Viognier. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV \u003c\/strong\u003e13.2%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuckling rates this the top Terminim white ever, saying:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSuch a pure, focused nose with a mineral, chalky accent to the limey and green apple note.
