Tasting Notes

Tomorrow is Pinot Noir Day and it felt wrong to open a Pinot tonight. Early on in my wine journey I wanted to find as many Gamays as I could. I adore the fact Gamay is becoming more popular throughout Oregon. One of my favorite Gamay producers is Hazelfern, plus they are super amazing humans! What I enjoy about Gamay is the fact it is a little lighter bodied over a Pinot. It’s a little cheaper as well. On the nose you get more floral scents and on the palate there is a distinct flavor profile of the dark red fruits I adore along with spice and earth tones. Do you have a favorite Gamay? . . . . 📰 Want to know more about Oregon Wine and Wineries sign up for my weekly newsletter. Link in the Bio! 🍷
