"Gamay 2004 – served with duck confit. Ruby colour, peppery black cherry, fruity and fresh, full in the mouth with lively acidity."

"(88) One of Malivoire's most popular wines catches real charm this vintage - a light, fragrant easy-drinking red with classic gamay strawberry, floral notes and light twiggy-leafy character. No candied character found in gamays (Beaujolais) made via carbonic maceration. Light but cushy texture with delicate acidity and very fine tannin. Great summer sandwich and picnic red."

"I've always enjoyed Malivoire Gamay and I think the 04 is the best yet. Great vitality and Italian spunk. Sorry Beaujolais."

"Lively, gutsy, bright, bitter, challenging. I love it. While the flavours may have you thinking of a hearty dinner, the spirit is brisk and refreshing. So plan a summer evening on the patio with appetizers and chit chat. Lightly chill. Gamay is our great local summer red."

"Malivoire's 2004 Gamay is a great way to see what can be made from this often abused grape and a steal at $16."

"***1/2 (drink now or over next 5 years) A Gamay that offers spicy cherry and red plum aromas that replay as sweet cherry and plum with notes of spice and herbs and a hint of earthiness. Medium bodied and dry, it’s complex and well structured, and pairs nicely with grilled duck. (RP)"

"**** This easy-drinking red mixes ripe berry flavours with exotic spice and smoke notes. The finish is nice and crisp, attributes that underscore this stellar wine's versatility at the dinner or picnic table."
