Eyrie Vineyards Original Vines Pinot Noir

Willamette Valley, USA

Oregon's most historically significant wine — Pinot Noir from vines planted by David Lett in 1966, the oldest in the Pacific Northwest. Haunting transparency, dried cherry, dried rose, earth, cedar, and the cool maritime mineral depth that Willamette Valley's original visionary identified in the Dundee Hills red Jory volcanic soils. Understated, complex, and irreplaceable.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Oregon duck and Oregon's founding Pinot Noir — the wine's dried cherry and earth character bridges the duck's richness; hazelnuts mirror the wine's subtle nutty depth; wild mushrooms amplify the forest floor quality
• main: Willamette Valley's forest floor chanterelles and the valley's founding Pinot — the wine's earth and cherry character mirrors the chanterelle's golden depth; thyme bridges the wine's herbal notes
