Mary Taylor Wines ‘Sophie Siadou’ Gamay Blend | Valençay 2020

BY THE BOTTLE / 45

From intrepid wine importer, Mary Taylor, comes this medium-bodied, ruby red treasure. This cuvée is known as “Les Griottes” or ‘the cherries’ as its gentle flavor and character has notes of red fruits (cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant), with a hint of spices in the finish. Farmed sustainably and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Pairs beautifully with winter vegetables like squash, mushrooms and brussels sprouts.

Cheers!
