2015 Aspect

Pinot Noir

Overview

Crowning the southernmost peak of the Dundee Hills, the magical Evenstad Estate is one of the most outstanding sites in the world for growing distinctive Pinot Noir. Dry-farmed on Jory soil at elevations ranging from 520 to 825 feet, its seven individual vineyard blocks have multiple exposures and produce some of our most prized wines, including Mark Bradford, Grace, and Côte Sud. We crafted this unique blend to exemplify the terroir synergy possible from diverse aspects of soil, elevation, orientation and clonal selection found within one remarkable vineyard estate.

Tasting Notes:

The 2015 Aspect Pinot Noir is extremely expressive. Layer upon layer of complex aromas fill the air with vanilla bean, black cherry, and blueberry tart. The mouthfeel is opulent and lush, showcasing deep, blue fruits with velvety tannins. Waves of flavor lead to a brooding and persistent finish that keeps you wanting more!

2014 Jerusalem Hill Vineyard

Pinot Noir

Overview

Our Jerusalem Hill vineyard is our lowest elevation vineyard, and is located 18 miles south of the Dundee hills in the Eola-Amity Hills. This vineyard is planted in a Woodburn sedimentary soil brought into the valley during the Missoula Floods, 13,000 to 15,000 years ago.

Deep ruby-red in color, the 2014 Jerusalem Hill appeals with aromas of thyme, pomegranate, baking spices and slate. The mouthfeel is round and generous with layers of black tea unfolding with red currants and cranberries.  The tannins are like velvet and everything is in harmony.  Its opulent flavors deliver a richness that gives way to a wonderfully persistent finish.
