Eyrie makes all five of its single-vineyard Pinot Noirs exactly the same way, so whatever sets Daphne apart comes from the ground. And Daphne is a site worth hearing from: at 860 feet, it's the highest of the estate's vineyards. The cellar work is kept simple on purpose: wild yeast and small fermentation vessels. The vines are certified organic and farmed with regenerative no-till methods. Jason Lett took over from his father, David, as Eyrie's winemaker in 2005. In 2023 a cold, dry spring gave way to heavy April rain, then a warm, dry summer with cool nights, and dry, mild weather for the September harvest. If you want to taste what elevation does to Dundee Hills Pinot, open this light, elegant red next to Eyrie's Sisters, the estate's lowest vineyard at 220 feet.

More about Eyrie

David Lett came to Oregon in 1965 to plant Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley, against his professors' advice, and released Eyrie's first vintage in 1970. He and his wife Diana also made the first Pinot Gris in the United States. His 1975 Reserve placed in the top ten at the 1979 Wine Olympics, then came second, by two-tenths of a point, to a 1959 Burgundy in Robert Drouhin's rematch. Their son Jason now carries on the vision that put Oregon on the Pinot map.

Flatiron's Take

Vineyard

The Daphne vineyard is named after a dear family friend of the Lett family. The vineyard is perched on a ridge top directly exposed to the Van Duzer wind gap at an elevation of 820-860 feet and overlooks the Willamette valley. The vineyard was planted with Pinot Gris in 1974 and additional planting of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier were added up to 1984. Daphne is one of the oldest and highest elevation vineyards in the Dundee Hills.

Soil

Very shallow sold with exposed volcanic and basalt

Viticulture

Certified organic vineyards and practices

Vinification

De-stemmed and fermented using all natives yeasts in a combination of tank and barrel. minimal racking, no fining or filtrering.

Aging

aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, 12% new

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with chanterelles; seared duck breast with cherries; cedar-plank salmon; wild mushroom risotto; pork tenderloin with herbs.

Tasting Profile

Expect the light, elegant style Eyrie is known for: red cherry, cranberry and wild strawberry with hints of forest floor and spice. A high, cool, windswept site on shallow volcanic soil typically brings bright acidity, fine, gentle tannins and a savoury, mineral edge, finishing long and fresh. Think a delicate red Burgundy more than a plush New World Pinot.
