2022 Concreto Gamay Noir - 92 pts
Concreto is not a villain in the Marvel universe. No, this is a super hero Gamay Noir that recently escaped seven months in a concrete tomb. Concreto's super power is the ability to pierce gobs of raspberry and blueberry fruit with laser beams of acidity. There's a little earthiness and black tea flavor to keep things moving along to the big finale, where Concreto saves the wine world. — Michael Alberty (Wine Enthusiast)
