Ghost Hill Cellars, Yamhill-Carlton AVA, Oregon with Cameron Bower Part 1

“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.” “In April 2024, the Bayliss-Bower family unveiled a striking new tasting room and hospitality center perched at the very top of the ridge, with incredible 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside. Retractable glass doors, outdoor firepits, and multiple seating areas create a variety of inviting and comfortable spaces for wine tastings, weddings, and special events of all kinds. In this modern farmhouse setting, guests are welcomed like family for tastings Thursday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., and until 9 p.m. on Fridays.”“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 Lover.”
