2022 | Iruai Gamay | Oregon Walter Hansel Winery this is a good introductionGamay has been a quick study of this new terrain, resulting in heady flavors of forest laced red and blue fruits, and an unmistakable chalky minerality like the brisk lift of nose candy at a Serge Gainsbourg concert in the '70s.
