Élevée Vineyard, located in the heart of the Dundee Hills sub-AVA, gives us classic characteristics of red fruit and spice. Vineyard owners, Tom and France Fitzpatrick, care for each individual vine, always looking to grow better fruit each vintage for those who source from their site. With limited fruit from this small vineyard, we carefully selected prestige blocks with clonal plantings of Dijon 115, 777, and Pommard to produce a delicate and well-rounded vineyard designate Pinot Noir.
TASTING NOTES
Elevated dark fruit and licorice are framed by savory sandalwood. Juicy on entry, the wine builds richness and supple texture, finishing smooth and composed.

Located in the McMinnville sub-AVA, HylandVineyard is one of Oregon’s largest and oldest vineyards.The remote site sits in the eastern foothills of Coast Range, benefiting from cooler temperatures in the summer and warmer temperatures in the winter.The vineyard’s established plantings thrive in the soil, microclimate, and high elevation unique to this site, which consistently produces fruit with structured tannins and bright acidity. Founding Winemaker Lynn Penner-Ash has been sourcing Pinot Noir and Riesling from the vineyard since 2008.
TASTING NOTES
Aromas of dark fruit and plum are layered with vanilla. The palate reveals a red-fruit core, balancing freshness with a subtle sweetness. A strong mid-palate provides depth and cohesion through the finish.

Aegrina Vineyard, located in the McMinnville sub-AVA, is one of the most distinct vineyards in our portfolio. The name, Aegrina, loosely translates to ‘full of love’ – the winemaker’s love of the fruit, our vineyard manager’s love for the vines, and the love you will feel for this wine at first taste. Lynn and Ron Penner-Ash helped map out the southeast-facing slope of the vineyard and assisted with the clonal selection. The site is planted to a variety of Dijon clones, Pommard, and Wädenswil. This diverse planting produces wines that are dark, dense, and texturally sweet.
TASTING NOTES
Pretty red fruit carries into a dense, deeply extracted core, layered with savory, peppery nuances. Fine-grained tannins and impressive weight give the wine its structure and balance.
