2021 Eola Amity Hill Pinot Noir

Selected from older vines from both Lone Star and Spirit Hill, this blend of Pinot Noir is iconically Eola-Amity Hills. It exudes a sense of dark fruit and decadence on the nose, setting the stage for a similar experience on the palate. As you sip, you'll discern hints of dark chocolate, black raspberries, and dried blueberries, each flavor unfurling delicately. What truly elevates this wine is the texture it offers: soft tannins, attributed to a pocket of deep Jory soils, along with bright acidity, beautifully tie the mouthfeel together, creating a harmonious and memorable tasting experience.

Other Notes

All signs of the start to the 2021 vintage pointed to a classic spring season. Bud break took place end of April followed by a dry spring. Bloom in June arrived with a rain shower that reduced overall yield potential but allowed for the perfect amount of fruit to ripen on the vines for high quality wine production. Summer remained dry and sunny with plenty of heat to keep the fruit developing. While a heat dome in late June posed a challenge for many in the valley, we experienced no damage from this weather event. These summer events lead to a rather early harvest, which successfully wrapped up the first week of October.
