Harvested from the high elevations of Luminous Hills Vineyard, our 2016 Pinot Noir includes three different clones from three different blocks, grown on both volcanic and sedimentary soils. These individual factors work together to create a delicate bodied Pinot with layered complexity. The Pommard clone on Willakenzie sedimentary soil serves as the foundation, offering a velvety and fleshy mouthfeel with supporting black fruit character. Co-fermented in a Puncheon barrel, the majority of contrasting red fruit notes are found from the volcanic soils of clone 777; while the Dijon clone 667, grown on the steepest, eastern block of Luminous Hills, provides underlying baking spices and bountiful acidity, with just a touch of whole cluster fermentation. Recommended drinking window: 2024 to 2028.

The very first Pinot Noir from our family estate in the Chehalem Mountains (planted in 2018). Farmed, vinified & bottled by our family to yours.

Our estate vineyard is 4.3 planted acres of Pinot Noir. Small, yes, but this allows our family to farm it exclusively- keeping diligent contact with every vine from bud break to harvest.

Our site is home to four distinctive soils that we planted five different clones of Pinot Noir. Given that 2020 was our third growing season, we expected smaller yields due to younger vines, but combined with a smaller berry set during flowering in spring, we harvested just over five barrels of wine come harvest. Just enough to get one barrel from each clone. We harvest each clone separately, then isolate in ferment and age each clone in its own barrel. We’re happy to report that we love the flavors. Each barrel representing its own identity of the vineyard which resulted in a wonderful combination of red and dark fruits, with underlying notes of savory earthiness that we strive for and crave.

When it comes to our own vineyard, our goal is to produce the best possible wines we can, while capturing the site's own diversity & distinctiveness. Each year we will produce as many blends to meet these two fundamental requirements. And just as each vintage is different from year to year, each blend we create will be too, and therefore assigned its own individual number- forever cataloging the count of hopefully a long line of uniquely delicious Pinot Noirs for years to come.

86 cases produced. The counterpart to Blend 5, Blend 6 pulls from the exact opposite part of the vineyard, our southwestern blocks. The warmest and lowest elevation blocks house our Pommard & Wadenswil clones that are planted on Carlton soil. Year in and year out, we notice more savory and earthy flavors coming from this section of the vineyard, as well as firmer, more pronounced tannins that result in a wine with more body, weight and texture. 28% new French oak was chosen to match the wine's more robust structure, offering supportive flavors of toasted oak and baking spices. Likely the most cellar-worthy wine created this vintage, Blend 6 will continue to reward with age.

100 cases produced. Meticulously choosing from a combination of four barrels that would represent our estate vineyard as a whole. Blend 7 includes all the differing soils, rootstocks, clones, elevation and aspects that represent the entirety of our estate vineyard blended together. Because Blend 7 sees the multitude of all these factors combined, it lends to a natural, layered complexity in the wine. It contains both the tart red fruit flavors of Blend 5 and the earthy, savory notes of Blend 6, while adding wonderful raspberry notes associated with our Dijon 114 clone. This wine acts as the middleweight between the lightness of Blend 5 and the boldness of Blend 6, resulting in a very balance structure. This wine was cellared in 37% new French oak, utilizing one of our most prized coopers that seamlessly integrates oak flavors while keeping the wine at the fruit point.
