Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Crafted from the Gamay Noir Droit grape unique to Chateau Des Charmes this wine displays aromas and flavors of ripe cherry, raspberry, white pepper and spice. Vibrant acidity, well balanced and great value. Tasted February 2018.

Natalie's Review

Château des Charmes St. David's Bench Vineyard Gamay Noir 2016, St. David's Bench, Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: The vines for this wine are planted on the side of ancient limestone slopes of the St. David's Bench Vineyard in glacial soils located furthest from the cooling temperatures of Lake Ontario and therefore benefiting from warmer temperatures and longer ripening. This clone of Gamay (Droit) is unique to this winery and is unoaked. A juicy Niagara red wine with lots of mouth-watering acidity on the palate of this made from the Gamay Noir Droit grape. Peppered raspberry with a full-bodied, supple texture and weight. Good price for this quality. Here's an amazing BBQ wine for you for all sorts of meats and event he Portobello mushrooms. Drink: 2017-2021. 346742 13% D 750 mL $18.95 Score: 89/100. February 27, 2018 Best Beef Wine Full Review
