Ribbon Ridge Gamay Noir
Ribbon Ridge, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
I think this is the right wine 2018 - this Oregon Gamay was really interesting with spice cake , lingonberry , earth slight oak background - thought this might be Beaujolais - so good

I first drank this wine in 2004 as a 22 year-old wine neophyte—with duck confit & spaetzle at the late great Earth & Ocean in Seattle—it blew my mind. As Swift said, “I drink no memories” so how does it hold up?
Quite respectably. Opening palate is fresh, mouthwatering, the memories of great Beaujolais crus past. Mid-palate with currant & slate. Excellent acid-tannin accord, cherry liqueur finish. Glorious with roast chicken & black trumpets.
