Hundred Suns Willamette Valley Gamay Noir 2023 Review
Hundred Suns is a small winery founded by partners Grant Coulter and Renée Saint-Amour. In 2018, the pair bought a 4.5 acre property in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA with a 50-year-old vineyard, and now make wines from the estate and source fruit from some surrounding areas. This Gamay was grown in the high hills of the Chehalem Mountain and fermented in whole bunches using carbonic fermentation. While it’s juicy and refreshing, bursting with notes of raspberries and blackberries, it also shows the serious side of Gamay, with flecks of black pepper and dried herbs.
