Evening Land Vineyards
Celebration Gamay Noir
About the best example available from Oregon.... A steal @$30 retail. Holding up beautifully after 48 hours of being uncorked.

Aug 4th, 2014Translucent ruby red color. Raspberries, wild berries, and cranberry on the nose with hints of violets and musk. Light bodied and fruity on the palate with low tannin, high acidity, and 12.6% alcohol. Made from grapes sourced from the historic and biodynamically farmed Seven Springs Vineyard and then vinified in the traditional Beaujolais style with whole cluster carbonic fermentation in concrete and then 100% neutral French oak. $30.

Jul 26th, 2017Was OK. Didn't contain a lot of flavor. A good tannic level though maybe it smooth.

Jun 6th, 2015Reduction is a bit obvious in this wine, but as with most Evening Land wines, this works itself out and integrates well with the wine over time. Flint and burnt matchsticks on the nose, alongside with portobello mushrooms, baked blackberries, and brambles. Blackberries, Italian plums, and creme de cassis in greet the tongue, cherries, blueberries and fresh orange peel on the mid-palate, with anise seed, white trumpet mushrooms, and subtle tones of basalt. Gorgeous Gamay made in the carbonic-style.
