2024 Gamay Noir

Sourced from our Tualatin Estate Vineyard, this Gamay Noir expresses the refined character of the northern Willamette Valley. A cousin to Pinot Noir, Gamay thrives in cool climates, producing a light-bodied, beautifully aromatic wine.

On the Nose: Dark ruby red in the glass, this elegant Gamay reveals aromas of black tea, dried sage, cherry and cinnamon.

In the Palate: The light-bodied palate balances vibrant cranberry and pomegranate fruit with savory notes of tobacco leaf and cedar. Fine tannins and bright acidity make this an exceptionally versatile food wine.

Food Pairings: Serve with savory or grilled meat dishes, including brined turkey with stuffing, grilled steelhead, seasonal vegetables, or charcuterie.

Tualatin Estate Vineyards

Tualatin Hills AVA

Tualatin Estate Vineyard, established in 1973 by Oregon wine pioneer Bill Fuller, is one of the oldest and most respected vineyard sites in Oregon. Covered in Laurelwood soil and Pisolites, the slope is south-facing with an elevation of 250-530 feet. Wine grapes from this 171-acre vineyard have produced world-renowned wines for more than 45 years. Tualatin is the only vineyard to have won the Best of Show for both the red and white categories at the London International Wine Competition in the same year. This is a feat unduplicated by any Oregon winery. Tualatin Estate Vineyard is proudly owned through a merger with Willamette Valley Vineyards accomplished in 1997.
