2025 Lazy River Vineyard Gamay
This Similkameen classic is made for refreshment and easy drinking. Pale in colour and dangerously gulpable, it bursts with crunchy red berries, Bing cherry, and the subtlest little thread of mineral and tobacco on the way to bottle number two. Serve it slightly chilled, on its own or with your finest charcuterie board.
