2021 Sisters Vineyard Pinot Noir, The Eyrie Vineyards

2021 Sisters Vineyard Pinot Noir, The Eyrie Vineyards

Named 'Sisters' for the three different types of Pinot planted in this vineyard, it is a four acre sited that was planted to Pinot Noir in 1987 using Pommard and Wadenswil clones. It is always one of the more floral and earthy wines in the line up. This a Pinot with real elegance opening with notes of bay leaf, wild berries, blood orange, and rosehip. There is a savoury almost ferrous quality to the wine, with a fine lattice of tannins. The finish is fresh with a delicate spiced note and citrus lift.

This wine is now sold out. Please get in touch with your advisor or one of our team on customercare@laywheeler.com or 01473 313 300 for more information or guidance on an alternative.

The Eyrie Vineyards

The story of Pinot pioneers, Eyrie Vineyards, is a truly inspiring one. In 1965, at the tender age of 24, David Lett headed for Oregon. He left California with little more than 3000 grape cuttings and a firm conviction that Oregon’s Willamette Valley would be the best home for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay outside of Burgundy.

In planting their Dundee Hills estate, David and his wife Diana identified the right climatic zone for Pinot Noir, and also selected its most iconic soil: jory, the basalt-based volcanic soil.

This was a true eureka moment in the beginning of the story of quality, cool-climate varieties in the Willamette Valley.
