This glorious wine is made with fruit from the Willamette Valley's orginal Pinot Noir planting. A perfume should be bottled of these potent aromas of marionberries, violets and loamy soil. The wine's marionberry tart, orange zest and cedar flavors coat the palate while still feeling nimble. Nureyev should have bee so balanced. Enjoy now until 2045.

Pouring a pale ruby hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Eyrie is fantastically detailed and reveals layered aromas of fresh cardamom, rose petal, and wild raspberry. The palate is tension-packed, with a linear feel and ripe red-berried fruit, but it’s more about its mineral and gravelly texture, with mouthwatering salinity and balanced fruit throughout. It also offers a touch of toasty cedar on the finish. It’s coiled at this stage and will benefit from another 2 or more years in bottle to start to show its best. Drink 2025–2035. (Audrey Frick)

From 57-year-old vines, the 2022 Pinot Noir The Eyrie is a transparent ruby color and reveals more cherry-noted fruit, with crushed flowers, crushed pine needles, dark minerals, and fresh spice. Medium-bodied, it has broader shoulders and a chiseled structure, with a long, long finish. It has really depth and intensity, with a lightly savory, gamey feel, ripe tannins, and clean lift on the finish. Drink 2024-2040.

Rich black raspberry, shavings of cedar, undergrowth, worn leather and rose waft up to form a beguiling bouquet as the 2022 Pinot Noir Eyrie Vineyard slowly evolves in the glass. Harmonious to the core, this floods the palate with textures of pure silk, displaying vividly ripe wild berry fruits enhanced by hints of sour citrus and spice. A web of crunchy tannins lingers as tart cranberry mixes with inner violet florals and a sensation of liquid stone through the long and lightly structured finale. The mix of energy and complexity here is something to behold
