Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Noir Estate McMinnville AVA

McMinnville AVA, USA

From the estate of Oregon Pinot Noir pioneer David Lett, planted from 1965 onwards with Burgundy-sourced cuttings. The Eyrie estate style favours elegance and longevity over immediate weight — restrained red cherry, dried violet, and sous bois aromas over a silky, precise palate. One of America's most historically significant Pinot Noir expressions.

Pairing intelligence

• main: David Lett pioneered the salmon-Pinot pairing for Oregon; his estate wine remains the benchmark expression of this regional tradition
• main: The Burgundy-trained palate responds to the classic French braise: Pinot's cherry and earthy notes integrate seamlessly with the wine-braised chicken and forest mushrooms
