TASTING NOTES

The Garageland Pinot Noir is a multi-vineyard, multi-appellation blend that embodies the raw, untamed spirit of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The name—shamelessly stolen from The Clash—is an homage to all the artisans who toil away behind nondescript roll-up doors, from musicians and painters to vintners and food makers. Like all of my wines, this bottling reflects my hands-off winemaking style, drawing attention to the vibrant delicacy, heady aromatics, and natural acidity that define a well-balanced wine. -Winemaker's Notes

 

90pts - Wine Enthusiast

"What a great Pinot Noir value from the good folks at Love & Squalor. The Garageland opening aromatic notes feature a perfume of daylilies, raspberry pastilles and Mandarin oranges. This is a light-bodied wine with acidity you can dance to and tannins that won't get in the way. Tart blackberry, balsa and maple notes bring it all home to the garage."
