Sensory Description:
The 2023 Presqu'ile Vineyard Gamay Noir opens with an expressive bouquet of pink peppercorn, goji berry, and fresh red cherry, underscored by subtle black tea and cedar notes. The influence of the Santa Maria Valley’s coastal fog and extended growing season lends a vibrant core of acidity and polished, well-integrated tannins. On the palate, the wine delivers vivid red fruit flavors balanced by savory spice and a smooth, refreshing finish, offering a precise, food-friendly expression of Gamay in a cool climate setting.
Winemaker's Background:
Outward Wines, led by partners Natalie Siddique and Ryan Pace, produces small-lot, site-expressive wines that reflect the diversity of California’s Central Coast. With organically farmed vineyard sources across Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, and San Benito counties, Siddique and Pace employ native fermentations, neutral oak aging, and minimal intervention to craft wines that honor both the distinct character of each vineyard and their personal winemaking vision.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve lightly chilled at 14–16°C (57–61°F) in a Burgundy or universal stem to showcase its aromatics and vibrant fruit. Ideal food pairings include grilled salmon, roast chicken with herbs, mushroom risotto, duck breast, charcuterie boards, and fresh goat cheese, making it a versatile choice for both casual and refined meals.
The 2023 Outward Presqu'ile Vineyard Gamay Noir offers a beautifully transparent and energetic expression of Gamay, demonstrating the elegance that coastal California can bring to this expressive varietal.
