2018 Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

$50.00

Our Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir comes from two small family farms, each less than 2 acres and both at nearly 700 feet in elevation. After several seasons working with the Wheelers and Hudsons, and the opportunity to learn about their sites, the fruit they produce, and their families, we grow more enamored with their uniqueness each vintage, and love lacing them together as they combine to form a substantive and articulate expression of the Eola-Amity Hills.

The 2018 Eola-Amity Pinot Noir opens with aromas of red and blue berries like boysenberry, huckleberry, and marionberry. There is sassafras here and fresh floral notes, with rose petals, and cinnamon stick, mace, and nutmeg, also something citrus- like orange zest or bergamot - with pomegranate molasses, and a confectionary nuttiness like that of Jordan almonds. The palate is juicy and generous with an appealing quality of succulence and expanse. It’s just yummy and fleshy and flavorful and moves on into the horizon of one’s palate like a poem without punctuation, gracefully carrying on down the page with fewer words but greater meaning.
