Winemaker Notes
Long our nickname for Dusky Goose's estate Rambouillet vineyard, Rambeaux (pronounced Rambo like the series of Stallone movies) is a delicious gateway to the Goose. Wild strawberry, dashes of cherry, accents of vanilla and nutmeg, this is Oregon Pinot that reminds us of Dusky Goose's early years.   
Beginning in 2020, Dusky Goose Winery introduced its new Rambeaux line of wines made by famed Winemaker, Lynn Penner-Ash. Created from a blend of fruit from our Estate vineyards, Rambeaux Pinot Noir is the vivacious, lively younger sister of Dusky Goose. Rambeaux’s striking label features an illustrated sheep skull as a nod to the Rambouillet longhorn sheep raised by co-founder Linda Carter’s family for over 100 years in eastern Oregon. These sheep are also the namesake of our Rambouillet Estate vineyard in Dundee, Oregon.
Rambeaux, affectionately coined by Lynn Penner-Ash, originally comes from her shorthand when labeling barrels of wine from Rambouillet vineyard.
