200 million years of tectonic plate subduction and 15 million years of volcanic activity have shaped the state of Oregon and its Willamette Valley into the place we know and love today. Our new AVA series wines were inspired by these colossal geological events and the influence it has on our soil, mother rock and the resulting aromas and flavors in the wine. We created two bottlings that hails from the highest quality vineyards in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA and Eola-Amity Hills AVA.
Tasting Notes: Bursting with fresh fruits of blueberry, strawberry, and black plum with hints of lilac and jasmine blossom. Juicy on the palate with rounded, velvety tannins on the finish.

Product Review
Located in the Eola Hills very near and planted at the same time as his own Canary Hill site, though at lower elevation, Wright's 2010 Pinot Noir Carter is strikingly complex and intriguing in aroma, featuring pit-accented cherry; pungent citrus oils, peat, and dried green herbs; as well as mushroom, all of which reconvene on a zesty, bright, tart, firm palate, carrying into a finish of vibratory intensity. There is more than enough primary juiciness here to banish any sense of drying that might otherwise have been induced by the wine's firm tannins. And here I feel on pretty confident footing in predicting at least the better part of a decade of interest.

Pinot Noir is responsible for some of the world’s finest wines. Famed for producing the red wines of Burgundy and the Côte d’Or in particular, it is now widely grown in cool climates across Califonia and Oregon, and with increasing success in New Zealand. Although typically used to produce varietal wines, Pinot Noir makes a significant contribution in the wines of Champagne, where it is vinified as a white wine and blended with Cardonnay and Pinot Meunier. On the whole, fresh summer fruit of strawberries, raspberries and red cherries tend to be the identifying qualities, however richer versions express darker fruit including black cherries (kirsch), cherry cola, leather and violets to name a few.
Oregon is without a doubt establishing a reputation for producing to some of America’s finest wines, made from Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Riesling. The Willamette Valley is the largest and most well known AVA. The Dundee and Eola hills, as well as Ribbon ridge are three of its most promising sub-regions.

Red wine is wine made from dark-coloured grape varieties. The color of red differs based on the grapes variety or varieties used.Interestingly, black grapes yield a juice that is greenish-white. The actual red color comes from anthocyan pigments (also called anthocyanins) from the skin of the grape (exceptions are the relatively uncommon teinturier varieties, which produce a red colored juice). Most of the production centers around the extraction of color and flavor from the grape skin.
