Celebration Gamay Noir is part of the Evening Land Vineyards project. The Gamay vines were discovered by Dominique Lafon as he strolled the historic Seven Springs Vineyard located in the Eola-Amity Hills appellation of the Willamette Valley. It's a small 3-acre parcel of vines planted in 1984. It's a low-density vineyard on self-rooted vines tended for low yields and produces a darkly colored, deep, complex Gamay.

Spearheaded by former movie producer/speechwriter Mark Tarlov, Evening Land is a unique and ambitious project that highlights some of America's finest vineyard sights, starting with Oregon's Seven Springs Vineyard and Sonoma's Occidental. Seeking to put the terroir of these famous plots on display in a Burgundian style, Tarlov enlisted the help of several of the world's brightest stars. With Meursault vigneron Dominque Lafon (of Domaine Comte Lafon) and Sashi Moorman (of Ojai, III Somms) overseeing Oregon and Sonoma respectively, Evening Land is seeing quick results; the wines are being mentioned as heirs to the title of North America's finest Pinots and Chardonnays.

Oregon is quickly gaining a solid reputation for producing some of the finest cold-weather varietals to be found in the world. While not uniform in climate by any stretch, the topography tends to create moderate, long growing seasons that favor Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and some clones of Chardonnay.
