Winemaker Notes
The 2022 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is blended from carefully selected barrels from our best blocks in the Dundee Hills and the EolaAmity Hills. These sites have soils primarily derived from volcanic parent materials. The basalt lying underneath was deposited between 15 and 17 million years ago, and originated in eastern Oregon.All of our sites are farmed organic or biodynamic with all key vineyard tasks performed by hand. Shoot-thinning and positioning, leaf removal, crop reduction and hedging are all done by our dedicated vineyard crew members, to optimize quality.
The blocks used for this wine are comprised of our oldest vineyards, including ANA and Le Pavillon vineyards (Dundee Hills), and La Chenaie (Eola-Amity Hills).
Drinking 2024 – 2037, decanting suggested first 5 years.
