• The 2015 Eola Amity Pinot Noir is all about baked strawberries wrapped up in black cherry fruit, Leather and lightly smoked bacon.  Bright acids on the palate are frames with ripe Bing Cherry, which lead to a supple, almost meaty mid-palate.  Eola Amity Hills Pinot shows the best of both worlds in that it has the spiced red fruit of volcanic soils, and the prized structure from marine sedimentary sites.

Dark purple, almost inky in the glass, 2015 Glacial is filled with blackberry, peppercorn, and olive tapenade. The Syrah component brings meaty/sanguine weight along with classic garrigue - Grenache provides lifted cherry and plum - Mourvèdre adds additional structure and knits each flavor together. Picking on the earlier side ensured acidity levels would be high enough to balance the weight of a warm vintage

The first thing you’ll notice with the 2015 MARINE Pinot noir is the dark red color, and black tea on the nose. Blackberry, toasted nutmeg and forest floor aromas are tightly wound and will age gracefully. Gobs of structure on the palate, the supple black and blue fruit are present, but it’s the smoky, black rock minerality that shines.

Our 2015 Volcanic Pinot noir has a striking dark ruby color with aromas of red cherry cola, cinnamon and violet that jump from the glass. Traditional sweet red fruit on the palate is balanced with the acidity we typically see from basaltic soils. There’s noticeable minerality that drifts in and out of the lengthy, strawberry studded finish.

The eagerly awaited return (and 16th vintage) of our ice wine wannabe exhibits the concentration of 36-year-old vines, with aromas and flavors that seem more tropical than Pacific Northwest: pineapple, guava, passion fruit, with perhaps some peach nectar for good measure. Juicy acidity keeps the texture from becoming syrupy while lengthening the finish. Savor this wine on its own, with fresh pears and stone fruits, with mild cheeses, or with barely sweet fruit and nut desserts.
