2021 Eola Springs Pinot Noir
Jammy and approachable, with deep dark and red fruit aromas and notes of savory charcuterie and sandalwood to add to the complexity.
Comprised of Pinot Noir grapes from Eola Springs vineyard located in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. The vines were planted in 1972 in jory, chehulpum, and rickreall soil.
Only 100 cases produced!
Flavor Notes
94 Points | James Suckling - "This very elegant Oregon pinot noir is still a bit shy on the nose, but has lovely juiciness on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Almost creamy tannins. Long, mellow and moderately dry finish with stacks of umami. With aeration the red-fruit aroma expands beautifully. Limited production. Drink or hold."
A sultry Pinot Noir with juicy notes of blackberry gastrique, fabbri amarena cherry and wild blueberry preserves.
Sommelier
This wine would shine next to a duck confit with black cherry reduction and fondant potatoes.

Winemaking Notes
2021 Vintage:
Rain events at the beginning of bloom diminished yields, and a dry summer was punctuated with unprecedented heatwaves. The timing worked in our favor since the heat happened pre-veraison, and the vines handled it well.
Harvest started in early September, but lower temperatures across the state allowed for a long and measured harvest season, with harvest extending into mid-October.
No disease, high sugars, balanced acids, and great flavors. 2021 will undoubtedly rank as one of the top Oregon vintages.
