All grapes for this wine came from our own vineyards in the Dundee Hills. This is our “young vine” cuvée, with vines averaging 19 years in 2005. The naturally low yields in that vintage resulted in more concentrated wines of incredible balance and complexity. Eyrie’s attentive vineyard practices focused on picking at just the right time in order to capture optimal Pinot flavor. The wine was then aged in mostly neutral French oak for nearly two years, resulting in a wine that accurately expresses Pinot noir’s inherent varietal characteristics. The deep, rich scents and flavors are enhanced by a long and lingering finish. It is a wine that pairs exceptionally well with food.
