Notes from Cameron:
"John Paul, the irrepressible owner and winemaker of Cameron, founded the winery in 1984. After working out of a roofless warehouse on the other side of the tracks in McMinnville, we moved to our current location in the hills above Dundee. Here, we planted Clos Electrique, a 4 acre dry-farmed vineyard that included Pinot noir and Chardonnay. Clos Electrique was planted in a traditional Burgundian manner, using several different clones of each varietal. Over the years the vineyard has expanded to 7 acres. Varietals now also include Nebbiolo and a field blend of white Italian grapes.
April frost came for Clos Electrique in 2022, resulting in low crop yields across the vineyard. This wine is quite red fruited, with pie cherry, earth, and sarsaparilla greeting the nose. The palate here is rich and bright with integrated tannins and long, exquisite finish."
