When referencing Oregon Pinot Noir it is difficult not to think of Eyrie Vineyards, one of the states most recognized and well respected growers. David Lett is basically the OG of Oregon grape growing. His farming is meticulous & his attention to detail in the vineyard and cellar uncanny. In 2005, Jason Lett took over from his father as winemaker and vineyard manager at The Eyrie Vineyards, and continues his family’s pioneering legacy. This is a bright red beauty with a subtle smokey aroma and deep, complex fruit notes. Taut and focused on the palate, a hint of red berry, florals and a lovely underlying spiciness and forest floor.
