Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills opens with intense wild berry perfume accented by touches of aniseed, tea leaves, cinnamon and lavender. The medium-bodied palate is grainy and refreshing, delivering generous layers of spicy, floral fruit, and it has a detailed, spicy finish.

From a spot at around 550 feet elevation on the northeast side of the Eola-Amity Hills called The Big Cheese Vineyard, the 2021 Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills pours a saturated red and offers up a mineral-tinged perfume of crushed stones, ripe wild cherry, and woodsy spice, all well-interwoven. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and has great concentration, ripe tannins, and remarkable length, with ripe fruit and lovely finesse. Give it another couple of years and drink over the folloing 10-12 years.
Fruit sourced from Koosah Vineyard and Big Cheese Vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills. Pale purple. Dark and rocky with bright blue and purple fruit. Dense and chewy. High acid driving a lengthy finish. Quite weighty and really textural. Very fine, sandy tannin. A bit too young. (SCJ)
