The Eyrie Vineyards, Pinot Noir Estate Dundee Hills, 2021
The Eyrie Vineyards is one of the foundational estates of the Willamette Valley and among the producers most responsible for establishing Oregon Pinot Noir on the world stage. Founded by David Lett in 1965, the estate has long championed a restrained, site-driven approach centered on organic farming, low-intervention winemaking, and transparency. This Estate Pinot Noir is sourced from organically farmed vineyards in the Dundee Hills, where volcanic Jory soils and a cool climate contribute freshness and finesse.
The 2021 vintage is elegant and finely structured, offering layered notes of wild strawberry, red cherry, cranberry, rose petal, and forest floor. The palate is lifted and precise, balancing vibrant acidity with fine tannins and subtle earthy spice. Medium-bodied and savory, the wine finishes with a long, mineral-driven character that reflects the understated, age-worthy style that defines The Eyrie Vineyards’ Pinot Noir.
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, United States
Farming: Organically farmed; low-intervention
