2011 Gamay Rouge
Save 10%/case - Everyday savings!
$213.30 / Case
The flavors are similar, bursting with red-ripe strawberry, apple blossom and maraschino cherry notes that dance in the mouth. These fruit flavors and relatively high acids are balanced by a slight natural sweetness derived from the juice of the grapes. We pick at lower sugars and higher acids to preserve the fruitiness of the grapes, then allow the skins to remain on the must (juice) for approximately three days to extract more color and flavor before fermenting at a very cool temperature—about 52 degrees— to retain more of the wine’s natural fruitiness. Next we stop the fermentation by quickly chilling the wine before it is completely dry, in order to leave a little of the natural grape sugar to balance the higher acid. Finally, we give the wine a light filtration and bottle it when it is only four or five months old in an effort to capture the freshest, fruitiest aromas and flavors possible.

Excellent! I just wish it was accesable at local stores.

We buy a case every year. Hands down, our favorite easy-to-drink, goes-with-almost-everything wine.

This is my favorite wine...I just wish it was available locally instead of ordering or at the winery as much as I like Napa. living in NV makes it hard to get there regularly.

This is the best wine I've ever had...even people who "don't like wine" WILL like this one. It's fantastic!! Literally goes with ANY food you want. Or even no food at all...just great to sip with friends!! My All Time Favorite!!! I order a case every year!!!

Whenever I'm visiting Lake Tahoe I have to get to Napa and get some Gamay Rouge. For me this is the best wine around! Not too dry, not too sweet.

My wife and I had visited over a dozen wineries over the two days prior to visiting V.Sattui but when we sampled the Gamay Rouge we both said WOW! at the exact same time and have been buying cases ever since.

By far my favorite wine. Visited in April and only purchased one bottle...needless to say I ordered a case just 2 months later!

I have been buying this wine for years & it is truly my favorite! Living in Mississippi has made it a bit of a challenge to get. When I order a case, I hoard it & hate to share, limiting myself to one bottle each month...although I have to admit I do like to get people to taste it, because everyone (even non-wine drinkers) loves it. And I love watching their reactions! But once they have tasted I have to tell them to buy their own bottle & to get away from mine! :)

My husband and I are not big wine drinkers but this wine could change that! So light and fruity, perfect for our hot, humid Florida days. We also like the Dry Reisling. Can't wait to come and visit again!

Your Gamay Rouge is my favorite wine. The flavor and aroma are superb. I can only wonder if Gamay Rouge is a metaphor for the "nectar of the gods."

We visited V Sattui Winery about approx 5-7 yrs. ago maybe even longer and have been a fan of the Gamay Rouge since that time. We live in RI and unfortunately it is not a drive away. We do however order the wine on line and have it shipped to us although the shipping and handling is quite costly. We do enjoy this special treat. Looking forward to visiting California again sometime.

Was introduced to Gamay Rouge be a friend. It's a bit spendy to pay the Fed Ex from CA to Northern MN.. But, so worth it.. I love it.. Yes, wish it was available locally.. The 25% off sales are great!!

This is the best wine I have ever had!! My husband and I don't care for wine, but we will drink Gamay Rouge!! We just ordered a case. The 25% off sale is great, but I think the shipping charge to RI is a bit pricey. I do look forward to sharing this "liquid gold" with family & friends. I can't wait for it to be delivered.

The Gamay Rouge is outstanding. Donn was right when he said we would love it. It is a reminder of the wonderful trip we made to V.Sattui in October celebrating our anniversary. A few friends will benefit and share this Christmas.

In general I do not enjoy wine. I drink it, and think nothing about the actual favors. This wine is delicious! We went on a tour and I ha a little fast and we bought 3 bottles. Now I asked my husband to get me a case for Valentine's Day! Nothing says amore like a case of Gamay Rouge.

I am not a wine drinker but if I drink once in while, V Sattui wines are my choices I am excited to taste the wine at the castle, I have not been there. I love giving these wines during the holidays. I guess with great discounts like this, I am all set to save some bottles.

Another great wine from V. Sattui! I ordered this wine for a friend in Florida, told her it was on the way, and she literally screamed with excitement and anticipation of this wine delivery. I purchase and/or taste this wine during my visits to V. Sattui.

I have been drinking Gamay Rouge for so long I can't remember when. We were on vacation in CA and went to Napa Valley to taste wines and stopped at V.Sattui Winery and that is all she wrote, I was hooked. I order 2 or 3 cases a year and all my friends love it to.

Been enjoying GR since the mid-80's and it's still a treat today! Friends coming to my house for gatherings always ask for it and have come to expect it! As others have commented, it really does go with anything. Myself, I love it with anything spicy, all the way up to Ghost Pepper salsa!
Thanks V. Sattui!!!

Love, love, love this wine. It goes with just about everything. My husband and I became believers in 2006 and have been hooked ever since! Crisp, clean, fresh, fruity, it embodies all the qualities that a delightful wine should. This one most certainly hits the spot every time!

I love Gamay Rouge. I was introduced to it in 1993 after a friend visited the vineyard. It was a gift I'd received when living in NJ. I have order many cases through the years. I am so happy to be reunited! Cheers!

This wine is by far the best rose wine me and my wife have ever had. It is refreshingly sweet but very palatable. It pairs well with mild chicken and fish meals. If you visit the vineyard, buy some of their delicious marinated goat and sheep cheese, get some crackers, and lay out in their gardens with a bottle of Gamay Rouge and enjoy a great snack and relax!

I've been drinking Gamay Rouge since 1999. I have ordered cases since 2005. I live in Washington, DC, however I have a brother that lives near Napa Valley and on every visit we make a special trip to Napa Valley and visit V.Satturi vineyards tasting room and have a picnic on their grounds. The deli is another hit with me. It always make me smile to remember those visits to the vineyards. I order a case of Merlot and Gamay Rouge shipped to DC every time. I drank my last bottle of GM 2004 a month ago and my brother surprised me with a case of 2011 GM that I received last Saturday. Wow, I am again on cloud 9. All my friends love it and although I would love to have it available locally, I love to tell them that it can only be acquired at the winery or shipped. Bottom line, I love GM.

We visited Napa Valley in August 2012 for the first time and had a wine tasting at V. Sattui. Being new to wine drinking, we tried several different types. The Gamay Rouge was absolutely breathtaking! We have since ordered a case and will need to purchase more after sharing with friends.

We visited the winery in the late 80's or early 90's from Florida and had our first taste of the Gamay Rouge. A couple of deli sandwiches and a bottle of Gamay at one of the picnic tables on the winery grounds capped out visit. There has seldom been a time since when there was no Gamay in the wine keeper. Now living in Arizona we love sharing a chilled bottle on the patio after long Arizona summer day.

Like so many other reviewers, my husband and I were introduced to GR by dear friends. My only request is that be in bigger bottles! Hope to purchase it in person in 2013. For now, I'll gladly absorb the pricey shipping fee - along with that liquid rose gold!

I started going to V. Sattue in the 80's. I don't EVER remember not loving any of their wines. This is my Fav. winery of ALL Times! Even wear their Jacket!... Love this place. The deli is a delight too!
Veronica Scott
(May 8, 2013 at 9:56 AM)
V. Sattui is definitely the BEST winery I've ever been to, and Gamay Rouge is the tastiest wine I've ever had. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, with picnic tables under the glorious large trees. The deli is another delight with all kinds of different meats, cheeses and crackers. I have to say that the day I went there with my fiancé at the time was one of the top 10 best days of my life.
Danielle

Amazing! Just left California and I'm regretting that I only got one bottle. I am hoping a friend that lives out there comes to visit MA soon and will bring me some... The shipping may be worth it in the end though. I stopped here just to use the restroom on my way to two other wineries... Turned out to be my favorite wine! Never know what you may find!
