title: Chateau Grand Traverse 2012 Reserve Gamay (Old Mission Peninsula)
description: While there are not many acres of Gamay in Michigan, it seems to be an viable addition to the rows of Pinot throughout the the state's two northern AVAs. From a warmer vintage, this wine shows plenty of red cherry and strawberry alongside lightly toasted vanilla. While juicy and snappy, a light dusting of tannins offers just enough support.
variety: Gamay
designation: Reserve
