WJ Weekend Wine: Leaning Post Gamay 2024

Leaning Post Gamay 2024 ★★★★+ (93)

Ilya and Nadia Senchuk, the owners of Leaning Post, consistently craft standout wines and this bottling is no exception. Gamay is one of Ontario’s signature grapes, but under Ilya’s skillful hand, it truly comes into its own.

Sourced from the Four Mile Creek appellation, this medium-bodied red offers a layered profile of blackberry, red and black cherry, and cooked strawberry, with subtle notes of forest floor, smoke, and black pepper. It’s a compelling, characterful expression of Gamay.

At the table, it shines alongside smoked salmon, charcuterie, pizza marinara, and even mild curries. The perfect bottle to put away for Mom on Mother’s Day.
