Wine of the Month - February 2012
Colio Estate Vineyards 2008 Gamay Noir 

There is not a large production of Gamay Noir in Essex county and when it does find its way into a bottle of wine it is often used as a blending grape.

Colio's Gamay Noir is Lake Erie North Shore only 100% Gamay wine!

Tasty spice and black pepper notes along with a nice balance of cherry fruits are the recipe for this delicious red wine.

Winemaker’s Notes:
Clean and refreshing on the palate with flavours of strawberry and cherry, this wine ends in a semi-sweet finish. Perfect for sipping on the patio or pairing with spicy dishes, salads, and fresh fruit. The 2010 Rose is a blend of lightly pressed Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir grapes.
