Willamette Valley Vineyards Elton Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir, 2020

Sourced from the Elton Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills, this Pinot is a favorite among many who frequent the WVV website...and with good reason. Year after year, it is an intriguing wine, my favorite among WVV Pinots.

Medium ruby/garnet. Reticent at first but with swirling and aeration, opulent dark cherry-tinged aromas emerge. Also some pepper, spice and earth. Medium light body with tongue-tingling acidity. The vineyard was first planted in 1983 on Jory and Nekia soil.
