Summary:

With the super cool, almost eerie vibe of its cellar door and Chris’s (the owner) generosity with his time, Forest Gate is a welcome addition to the Pyrenees wine scene.  Less than 20 years and 5 acres into the game, Forest Gate already serve’s up one of the Pyrenees’ most notable wine experiences, and the wines themselves aren’t far behind.  As of this writing, Forest Gate has four vintages of Shiraz on tasting (a vertical tasting of 4 vintages is a pretty cool thing all unto itself!)  The 2016 reaches near perfection – one of those wines that flat out works and will please novices and sommeliers alike.  We predict great things to come from Forest Gate – it is one to watch.
