Ribbon Ridge Gamay Noir

Moderately extracted ruby red, good clarity. Butter and black currant notes in nose. Cherry, raspberry and black currant in mouth, light skin tannins in finish. Rounded mouthfeel and an umami-graphite-ink flavor after 30 minutes, good balance, just enough tannins for structure.

Brick House still doing Gamay as good as any. Legends.

Even better than I remember, so bright and mineral driven.

Juicy! Fruit forward and herbal, anise and red berries. Love it.

Like a Pinot noir that traded its jam for black pepper.

Light raspberry, tamarind, dried prunes. Light fresh, crisp. A little star anise

Signature black pepper pop. Immediate pour is a tad thin, but give it time. A gorgeous wine. Dear Oregon, please plant more of your world class Gamay and leave the Pinot for your really exceptional sites.

Pleasantly surprised as I thought it was going to be hot. Well balanced wine. Pinot isn't the only amazing Burgundian varietal to come out of Oregon.
