title: Chehalem 2015 Ridgecrest Vineyards Gamay Noir (Ribbon Ridge)
description: Gamay is still fairly rare in Oregon but ripens well into a style more reminiscent of Zinfandel or Grenache than of Beaujolais. Robust and fruity, this has tart and spicy cranberry and cherry notes, with a nice acid/tannin balance that keeps the flavors moving along nicely through the finish.
variety: Gamay Noir
designation: Ridgecrest Vineyards
