Yamhill-Carlton Pinot noir is redolent of blackberries, raspberries, cloves, tobacco, and coffee – all incredibly food friendly flavors.

Yamhill-Carlton wines first captivate you with aroma. Their texture is like no other wine – silky, generous, and a persistence that lasts.

Neighborly love continues to flow like the Pinot here in our wonderful AVA!

Today we have Sean Davis of Marshall Davis Wine sharing with us MonksGate Vineyard's prized Pinot Noir. Davis points out the perfection of the prune on the nose and spice on the pallet.

Cheers to Oregon Wine Month and these moments we will continue to share for the rest of May!

It's a long story... But we want to tell it!

It was 1904 when the first award was given to an Oregon winemaker, Ernest Reuter of Forest Grove, winning a silver placement for his Riesling at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair.

Take a walk down vineyard lane, as we celebrate Oregon Wine Month! Start with the link in our bio for more on history (you will be happy you did!).

Drenda Bayliss, owner of Ghost Hill Cellars, has long-standing roots in Yamhill-Carlton. She explains that her family has owned their farm since 1906 and later planted their vineyard in 1999.

Today she shares with us Gran Moraine's Brut Rosé, which she states is dry, crisp, fruity, with a nice finish. This Brut Rosé is specifically blended with 57 percent Chardonnay and 43 percent Pinot Noir. A true beauty that must be shared!

Paying it forward by pouring a favorite over here! Doris Hanger of MonksGate Vineyard gives a big shout-out to winemaker Sean Davis and his winery Marshall Davis Wine.

Marshall Davis Wine specializes in small batch vineyard specific wines. Known for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay made with grapes from their Yamhill-Carlton AVA Vineyard, they also pride themselves in Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon using fruit from some of the most esteemed vineyards in Walla Walla.

What a treat to have both @monksgate_vineyard and @marshalldaviswine at the Spring Tasting event!
