For centuries Gamay Noir au Jus Blanc has been the singular grape of the Beaujolais region of France. But the marine sediments of Ribbon Ridge share much in common with the rolling hills of Beaujolais, including low soil pH and an abundance of mica/silica.

"I tasted the 2024 Gamay Noir from tank two days before it was due to be bottled. Maturing in used oak, it has savory aromas of red cherry, blackberry, garrigue, leather and cracked pepper. Medium-bodied, it floods the mouth with crunchy, earth-laced flavors. It's framed by silky tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, spicy finish. 180 cases are expected."

"Matured in used oak, the 2023 Gamay Noir has intoxicating scents of raspberry, strawberry, orange peel, rosewater, pepper and tea leaves. Medium-bodied, it floods the mouth with layer after layer of expressive red fruit. It's structured by silky tannins and bright acidity and has a long, nuanced finish. 210 cases were made."

"Displaying a bright transparent red hue, the 2023 Gamay Noir is fresh with notes of ripe cherries, cinnamon, bright spice, and crushed stones. Offering more complexity, it,s a medium-bodied, spicy, bright wine, with chalky, fine tannins and a clean, zesty lift through the finish. Drink now or over 2025-2032."
