From the winemakers: “The wine has alluring aromas of sweet plum, cola, lavender, sage, and jasmine, as well as notes of licorice and savory leather. The palate is dense and textural, with flavors of black currant, dried blueberry, and dried oak bark and supple tannins that elongate the finish.
Perched at the crest of the Eola Hills, Eileen Vineyard, named after co-founder Eileen Gerrie, rises to over 735 feet and has commanding views of the Cascade Range to the east and the Oregon Coast Range to the west. First established in 1997, it has grown to nearly 22 acres of Pinot Noir.
Eileen Vineyard is among our farm’s highest elevation and most geologically complex sites. It has our most wind-swept vines and the most diverse collection of Pinot Noir clonal selections. The vineyard is defined by the cold, fierce Pacific Ocean winds that blast the site via the Van Duzer Corridor and by the dramatic volcanic soil variation and depths from ancient basalt flows.
This distinctive vineyard produces tiny berries with thick skins, leading to a higher skin-to-juice ratio. The resulting wines are structured, vibrant, and persistent.”
