Tualatin Estate Vineyard Gamay Noir

Super expressive nose of luscious Gamay fruit. Super grapey and very carbonic. Loads of berry and jelly donut. Huge spice and depth. The nose is so expansive. Smells like a fruitier Thivin. Floral like nothing else. Mashed flowers. But so fresh and at peak bloom. Palate is gorgeous with high toned grippy berry fruit and very suave tannins. High acid here. Florals are such vivid roses. Terrific freshness and concentration. Sappy and so dense and this is a Gamay for the long haul. What a finish. Keeps snaking all over your palate for minutes. Now way way floral after air. This is 40% whole bunch. So aromatic. Amazing sweet fruit and tannins. 23 bottled 5 months earlier than it was in 21. Loess soil. What a finish just keeps going and going. This really needs 3-4 years. Now after 8 hours nose is darkly floral, meaty, dark in general. Palate is super supple and sweet with awesome juiciness and length. So good. 9.3 to 9.4. Much more expansive and supple toddy. Really broad floral aromas and stunning supple texture. 9.4 to 9.5.
