Vintages New Release Collection – May 24, 2025

HIDDEN BENCH GAMAY 2022 6 VQA Lincoln Lakeshore, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, sustainable, unfiltered What a lovely gamay – certainly among the ripest and best yet from Hidden Bench as it gears up its gamay program with the use of new concrete fermenters. It has more colour depth than expected and generous aromas of strawberry/cherry fruit, soft florals and subtle oak. It is light to medium bodied, nicely composed and effort lessly balanced with fine acidity and tannin. The length is excellent. A class act. Tasted October 2024. Score: 92 (David Lawrason, winealign.com) Light-bodied & Fruity 20422 (XD) 750 mL $29.95 2 4 Organic product

EASYGOING AND CHILL Light, quaffable reds are a delicious addition to any meal and bring an easygoing poise to any gathering, be it a formal affair or a casual hang. Chill them lightly to accentuate their fruitiness and pair them with grilled salmon skewers or roasted-veggie pasta salad.
