Another solid example of Oregon Gamay! I hope the grape further proliferates there because it seems to do pretty well from the examples I’ve tried thus far. Pours a medium (-) ruby garnet hue. Medium/medium (+) concentration of aromatics of ripe strawberry and raspberry, rhubarb, fresh violet and rose petals, a gravelly soil character, and a bit of white pepper. On the palate, more just-ripe strawberry and raspberry, crushed gravel, white pepper, fresh violets and peonies. Ample medium/medium (+) acidity. Moderate, unobtrusive alcohol with a softly textured medium (-)/medium body. Low/medium (-) intensity of very fine tannin. Like a slightly turned-up, slightly riper cru Beaujolais. Quite good. Nice balance between acid and minerality plus soft, ripe fruit.

Amazing wine from one of my favorite wine makers. Sour cherry, mushroom, lots of earth. Almost too easy to down a bottle!

Discovering that I might have a soft spot for Oregon. Juicy, lush, makes you feel warm and fuzzy.
