Shownotes
“Ghost Hill Cellars is a fifth-generation farm, vineyard estate, and unforgettable event destination, sustainably tended by the Bayliss-Bower family (and, perhaps, the ghost of a murdered gold miner) since 1906. Neighboring the vineyards of Ken Wright, Tony Soter, and other Willamette Valley luminaries in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, the family’s highly prized soils produce Pinot Noir of exceptional finesse and longevity, crafted by legendary Oregon winemaker Eric Hamacher. With a spectacular new hospitality center to match the award-winning wines, Ghost Hill Cellars is a family treasure far more enduring than a prospector’s lucky break.”
“Ghost Hill produces four 100% estate-grown Pinot Noirs: Pinot Noir Blanc (made with no skin contact), Pinot Noir Rosé, Bayliss-Bower Vineyard Pinot Noir, and Prospector’s Reserve Pinot Noir (made from the oldest vines of the estate). Critics regularly score this lineup 90-94 points.” With the planting of Chardonnay in the new vineyard a sparkling wine program is definitely in their future.
Representing the Bayliss-Bower family is Cameron Bower, “Business Guy and Wine Love” who continues with us.
