Johan Vineyard is an 85-acre, Demeter-certified biodynamic site in the Willamette Valley, south of McMinnville and west of Salem. This site is almost always our last Pinot pick of harvest. Although it's a relatively low-elevation site, due to its proximity to the coast and the winds that howl through the Van Duzer Corridor every summer afternoon, the fruit here tends to ripen later than in our other vineyards.

Deep Blue is our first Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, as opposed to our single vineyard offerings. We sourced fruit from our two primary Pinot Noir producers: Momtazi & Johan Vineyards, both Demeter-certified Biodynamic sites that produce drastically distinct wines.

The Clos Electrique Rouge from 2021 is an astounding wine with notes of leather, porcini mushrooms, forest floor and a dose of plums bringing in the finish.  Its perfect silky mouth and a nice round finish cry for a café 90’s Duck l’orange, chanterelles sautéed with butter and sherry, a Ribeye cooked to perfection or perhaps even cardboard.  I mean really, this wine makes anything taste better.

Dark garnet color. Seductive aromas of black tea, tobacco, and crushed tart cherry and blackberry. Faint notes of vanilla and toast accentuate dark plumb and cherry character. The palate is seamless with silky texture and long sweetness.

This 2021 wine is a fine example of the charm, balance and satisfaction that fine Dundee Hills Pinot can provide. Translucent scarlet in colour, with magnetically attractive raspberry scents, once on the palate the wine is soft-contoured yet energetic, with arresting intensity of fruit.

Averaen Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022 - a premium wine that showcases the best of the Willamette Valley's sub-AVAs. Crafted with a keen focus on blending the unique personalities of each site, this Pinot Noir is a harmonious masterpiece.

The nose is expressive of wild strawberry, mulberry, rose, and cedar. The palate reveals a harmony between fresh fruitiness and savory richness, with a persistent, vibrant finish.

Nysa Vineyard Pinot come from 31-year-old, own rooted vines planted in deep Jory soil at 650 feet elevation at a due eastern aspect. The farming is organic and sparing as the vines have achieved a lovely balance emphasizing the distinctive character of the site.

Audeant Pinot Noir is blended to capture the beauty of small, thoughtfully tended vineyards tucked against forests high in the hills of the Willamette Valley. Late ripening sites, farmed for biodiversity, deliver fruit packed with energy, ripened by light, balanced with tensile acidity.

Luminous Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir - We speak often about our preference for ripening fruit with light rather than heat. It is why we work with high elevation sites that take time to develop.  In vintages where the sun is bountiful, we retain tension, clarity and delicacy.  At Luminous Hills in this vintage those characteristics abound, and at the same time, the wine is is luxurious.
