Crafted with meticulous care by Seabold Cellars, this 2020 Gamay offers an inviting escape for lovers of light-bodied red wines. Hailing from California’s San Benito County—a hidden gem on the Central Coast—this vibrant bottle combines approachable elegance with distinctive flavor profiles perfect for casual sipping or refined pairings.

The winemaking process shines through every sip: 95% whole-cluster carbonic maceration delivers a juicy, effervescent character that’s quintessential “Glou Glou” style—think effortless enjoyment without sacrificing complexity. Aged gently in neutral barriques for 11 months, this wine balances bright acidity with velvety texture, showcasing ripe dark cherry flavors intertwined with delicate rose petal aromas. The tannins are subtle yet purposeful—guiding you smoothly from its lush fruit-forward entry to a crisp yet clean dry finish that leaves your palate refreshed rather than weighed down by heaviness or bitterness common in fuller-bodied reds.

Ideal for those seeking a versatile table wine, this San Benito County Gamay pairs beautifully with charcuterie boards, herb-roasted dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own during warm evenings or relaxed gatherings. Its moderate alcohol level (13.2%) ensures drinkability without overwhelming your senses, making it a standout choice among lighter reds from California’s Central Coast region.

Produced sustainably in limited quantities (just 164 cases), this bottling reflects Seabold Cellars’ commitment to eco-conscious winemaking while offering exceptional quality at an accessible price point. Whether you’re new to Gamay or a seasoned fan of carbonic maceration-driven wines, this 2020 vintage delivers unique character that sets it apart from more conventional options on store shelves today.*
