Northwest Wine Report (Sean Sullivan) October 2024 - 90 points | Critic’s Choice
"This variety is exceedingly rare in Washington, and this is a lovely example. The aromas bring notes of red fruit, crushed flower, and anise. Medium-plus bodied flavors follow."
James Suckling - 91 points
"Attractive nose with ripe strawberries, cherries, dried orange and mild spices. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and round-textured, with supple tannins and a vivid, fruit-driven finish. Drink now or hold."
Vinous (Eric Guido) September 2024
"The 2022 Gamay Noir Repartee opens with a vivid mix of lavendar pastille and citrus-soaked blackberries. It's juicy and lifted in feel, with ripe wild berry fruits and mineral tones that swirl throughout. This is no-frills yet thoroughly enjoyable, tapering off fresh with medium length and spicy tinge."
