Martin Woods Tualatin Estate Vineyard Gamay Noir 2023

The 2023 Martin Woods Tualatin Estate Vineyard Gamay Noir from Oregon’s cool-climate Tualatin Hills shows a vibrant and expressive profile that captures both the region’s acidity and savory nuance. In the glass it displays a bright ruby hue and an aromatic bouquet of wild red fruits — cranberries, raspberries, and juicy strawberries — mingled with floral hints like rose petal and violet, plus subtle spice and earthy undertones that lend complexity and depth. Its scent is lively and perfumed, drawing you in with energy and purity of fruit.  

On the palate, this Gamay is medium-bodied and refreshingly juicy, marked by brisk acidity and fine tannins that give the wine structure without heaviness. Flavors of crunchy red berries and tart cherry are complemented by a cool mineral core and light herbal or peppery accents, leading to a mouthwatering finish that feels both playful and refined. This approachable yet nuanced style makes it equally enjoyable slightly chilled on its own or paired with charcuterie, grilled fish, roasted mushrooms, or other casually elegant dishes.

Available for local pickup only in Dayton, OH.
