Fleur de Lis Vineyard

2013 Pinot Noir 750ml

Overview

The Fleur de Lis vineyard is located on the west-facing slope of the Evenstad Estate, next to Mark Bradford vineyard. The site's northern exposure and rocky, thin soil produces an elegantly feminine, Burgundian-style Pinot Noir, with a character that is expressively savory yet fruit-driven.

The 2013 Fleur de Lis Pinot Noir is deep ruby-red with aromas of ripe red currant, bright cherries, and holiday spices. The mouthfeel is round and generous with layers of cocoa and toasty oak unfolding with cranberry compote and blood orange.  The wine is complex and opulent, delivering a great balance between richness and flavor-driven intensity and wonderfully focused length.

Gold Eagle Vineyard

2014 Pinot Noir 750ml

Overview

The Gold Eagle Vineyard is located on the east facing slope of the Evenstad Estate in the Dundee Hills next to the Grace vineyard. Gold Eagle is our only vineyard planted with north, south, east and west row orientation. The vineyard is planted exclusively to Pommard and Dijon Clones.

Crimson red in color, the 2014 Gold Eagle Vineyard radiates aromas of dark cherry and cedar cigar box.  On the palate, rich round tannins and balanced acidity frame flavors of clove and violets. The broad and supple mouthfeel flows into a long, silky finish.  This wine is approachable now, but should evolve even more with additional time in the bottle.
