Eyrie makes five single-vineyard Pinot Noirs exactly the same way: wild yeast, small open-top fermenters punched down by hand twice a day, 14 months in barrel with 19% new oak in each. That means whatever differs from bottle to bottle comes from the hillside. Outcrop is five acres of Wädenswil-clone Pinot, planted between 1982 and 2000 on a north-northeast-facing slope at 280–360 feet. Eyrie named it for a ridge of rock that runs across the slope, and it looks down over the estate's original vineyard. The Letts call 2023 a "dynamic" year: a cold, dry spring, a soaking April, then a warm summer with cool nights. The fermentations ran gentle and slow, and Eyrie, whose winemaker Jason Lett took over from his father in 2005, describes the vintage as vivid, moderate in alcohol and firmly but evenly structured. This is the light-bodied, elegant, organically farmed side of Oregon Pinot, nothing like the jammy kind. It's even more fun next to one of its siblings, since the five vineyards sit at different heights across the Dundee Hills. Taste two side by side and you're learning the hills one vineyard at a time.

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.

The vines for the Sisyers vineyard Pinot Noir are unfragted pre-Phylloxera plantings.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast quail or squab with cherries, cedar-plank salmon, wild mushroom risotto, seared duck breast with a pinot reduction, or herb-roasted chicken with morels.

Tasting Profile

Expect the light-bodied, elegant side of Dundee Hills Pinot Noir: red cherry, cranberry and raspberry with earthy, forest-floor and gentle spice notes, plus only a subtle hint of oak. Typically, bright acidity and fine, silky tannins lead to a fresh, savoury finish. Think red Burgundy more than plush, jammy New World Pinot.
