THE WINES

2021 Luminous Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir - We speak often about our preference for ripening fruit with light rather than heat. It is why we work with high elevation sites that take time to develop. In vintages where the sun is bountiful, we retain tension, clarity and delicacy. At Luminous Hills in this vintage those characteristics abound, and at the same time, the wine is is luxurious.

Our 2019 Audeant Pinot Noir is a classic throwback. Coastal forest thicket, bright red fruit streaming out in every direction at once, perched on a finely grained stony framework. A sub-13% alcohol tells a different story than the expansive palate and taught long finish seem to indicate.

2019 Luminous Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir - We farm two blocks at this dramatic vineyard, planted high in the foothills of Oregon’s Coast range. One a steep east facing slope of 667 clone planted on decomposed volcanic material, and the other a gentle bench facing South South-East planted on ancient marine sediment, with a thin transitional layer of volcanic material.

Our 2018 Audeant Pinot Noir is comprised of fruit from small lots, meticulously tended to by hand at Luminous Hills, Carlisle’s Crest, Nysa and Cherry Grove vineyards. Aromas unwind from the glass radiating with dark red fruit, cassis, black tea and herbs. In kind, the palate reverberates, extending out in all directions framed by the kind of structure that will carry this wine beautifully over its long potential ageing.

The 2018 Nysa Vineyard Pinot Noir continues our history with this legendary site, producing wines of mind bending complexity, depth and finesse. Always requiring the most patience, one is rewarded with a cornucopia of scents and flavors across a spectrum of red fruits, pine, pipe tobacco and the “su bois” of the surrounding forest. Our small plot of 30 plus year old vines have reached an ideal maturity, needing little but a few gentle passes throughout the growing season to transmit their message of sunlight via place into your glass.

Once again the 2018 Luminous Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir is the most aromatically expressive wine in the cellar, exotic sage, melon, crème de cassis and dry stones. This remarkable site gave us perfectly lignified stems in this vintage which were included in the fermentation bringing an open-knit life and lift to the silky fruit on the palate.
