Yakima Valley
2022 Limited Release Gamay Noir
Hooray, for another Gamay! We got our hands on one of the few Washington Gamay plantings, Carousel Vineyard. This wine saw carbonic fermentation in a concrete pyramid, and was blended with some whole cluster stainless steel fermented Gamay lending flavors of red fruit and cinnamon.
