2018 Red Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir
The sun-kissed nature of the vineyard yields sensuous aromatics from rose petal to marigold. The 2018 Red Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir starts floral before taking on voluptuous notes of chocolate-cherry cake and radiant red fruit. Instinctive, alluring, and lasting, this wine beautifully illustrates Pinot Noir’s most immersive characteristics. It also spotlights the more emblematic traits of the Dundee Hills, from botanical fragrances to concentrated fresh fruit notes.
Wine Profile
Vineyards
Our Red Hills Estate is a 23 acre
vineyard in the Dundee Hills AVA.
This gentle, south-facing slope ranges
in elevation from 360 to 570 feet and
is composed of basaltic Jory soil. Vines
here range from 20 year-old selfrooted
Pommard clones planted to 800
vines per acre, to Dijon clones planted
to 4,800 vines per acre. Farming is
meticulous and detailed, utilizing
sustainable practices. Relatively warm
and wonderfully consistent, Red Hills
Vineyard is rooted to a gentle slope
on the north end of the Dundee Hills.
Having put in the hard work of digging
through fiery orange iron-rich soil to
the rocky volcanic bedrock beneath for
more than two decades, the seasoned
vines produce a consistently healthy
crop of deeply layered fruit.
