Clone: Pommard.A vineyard with soil less than 25cm deep, spread over huge rocks. Windy and cool, the harsh environment results in small grape clusters. The fruit is concentrated and herbal, reminiscent of stone. Named for a longtime friend of The Eyrie.※ Numbered in the order of planting.Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon* Jory is Oregon’s representative soil, ideal for grape cultivation. Basalt was deposited by volcanic flows 15-17 million years ago, and over time the surface bedrock decomposed into iron-rich red soil covering a deep layer of rounded basalt boulders.** No tilling, no irrigation, no fertilizer. Regenerative agriculture not only grows grapes, but also protects and revitalizes the soil and the natural environment surrounding it, enhancing the ecosystem. The first Pinot Noir was planted in Dundee Hills in 1965 by a young David Lett, soon after completing his viticulture studies at the University of California, Davis. Still in his mid-20s, he moved to the Willamette Valley with 3,000 cuttings, convinced it was the perfect climate for Pinot Noir. In 1966, he established The Eyrie Vineyards, ushering in a new era for the Oregon wine industry.David and his wife Diana cultivated their first vineyard, ‘The Eyrie,’ on a south-facing slope with enough incline to eliminate spring frost damage, access to the volcanic soil at the top of the slope, and at an altitude that was neither too high nor too low, ensuring adequate heat for the grapes to ripen. Supported by extensive research including into Jory soil*, altitude, microclimate, and actual site selection, Pinot Noir has become the representative varietal in Oregon. The Eyrie has been organically grown since the beginning, and today all five estate vineyards are certified organic, while also practicing regenerative agriculture** that emphasizes biodiversity. David’s son and second-generation winemaker, Jason Lett, co-owner with his mother Diana, stays true to The Eyrie’s founding philosophy, while continuing to evolve and enhance its practical application. Single-vineyard Pinot Noir The Eyrie ‘Estate Pinot Noir’ is made from fruit from the five estate vineyards, from the lowest elevation Sisters vineyard to the highest elevation Daphne vineyard. All of the vineyards are over 25 years old, and the individuality of each vineyard is clearly evident in the wine. Since 2012, the Eyrie has made small quantities of five single-vineyard Pinot Noirs named after the vineyards (195-442 cases each). They are produced identically, with the same fermentation regimes of wild yeast and small fermentation vessels, followed by aging in blends of cooperage for 17 months with 12% new oak, to express the differences in soil, location, slope, and vine age of each vineyard. We purchased two dozen of each of the five single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from the 2018 vintage. We’d like you to take this opportunity to compare them, so are offering them at a special price.2018 was a cool, dry summer. Good weather during flowering produced a moderate but healthy yield, with no aggressive leaf removal or fruit thinning required. Harvested in late September, the result was close to the average for the past 30 years. To express the finesse of a dry year, the wine was lightly pressed and fermented.*The Eyrie 2018 and Sisters 2021 are also available for purchase individually.
