"Delicate and floral, with pretty raspberry and cherry flavors that take on rose petal and orange peel accents. Drink now through 2030. 452 cases made."

"The 2023 Gamay Noir Seven Springs is a transparent ruby hue and is zesty and refreshing with a snappy personality, delivering notes of poppy red fruits, dusty earth, fresh herbs, and wildflowers. Medium-bodied, the palate has a citrusy lift with fine tannins, and it's mouthwatering and refreshing, with a fantastic mineral texture. Coming from own-rooted head-trained vines planted in 1982, which they had to replant in 2017 due to phylloxera, the wine was fermented with 100% whole clusters. Drink 2025-2035."

"From one of the oldest plantings of gamay in Willamette Valley, this is a spicy, savory, light- to medium-bodied wine with aromas of red and black pepper, tart red fruit and rich cherries. The palate has a plush middle with minerals, acidity, gentle tannins and flavors of mixed bramble berries. Drink now."
