The Color Collector Willamette Valley Gamay Noir 2022

$50.00

Excl. tax

Color Collector's classic Gamay. The 2022 is the most elegant version yet. Gentle without lacking power, it is defined by bright, juicy red fruit and a precise acid and tannin structure.

The Color Collector Bethany Kimmel makes small amounts of gamay in a juicy, floral, thirst-quenching style.

Kimmel works gently and slowly, doesn't own a winery pump, opting instead for a traditional basket press.

She relies on native yeast and the natural chemistry of ripe wine grapes in her fermentations.

During harvest, you can often find her awake a 4 a.m. plucking berries from their stems by hand.

Her wine production is small in size, but full of heart.
