{"product_id":"walter-scott-pinot-noir-sojeau-vineyard-2024","title":"Walter Scott, Pinot Noir Sojeau Vineyard, 2024","description":"Sojeau is one of Walter Scott's coolest vineyards. It's a southwest-facing ridge at 650 feet in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills, right in the path of the Van Duzer winds, which bring cold Pacific air inland. That air stretches out the ripening season, holds onto acidity and adds aromatic complexity. The site is the work of Denny Peseau, a Willamette pioneer who co-founded Eola Springs Vineyard in 1978, before the Eola-Amity Hills even had an AVA. He farmed the ridge below for decades, then in 2007 bought the rugged volcanic-clay slopes above and turned them into Sojeau. The Pinot Noir blocks cover three different volcanic soil series. Ken Pahlow and Erica Landon don't pick out the best parcels: they take a cross-section of Pommard, Dijon and Wadenswil clones, harvest them together and co-ferment them, so you get the whole hillside in one wine. That suits a house that picks early, at lower pH, aiming for tight, polished Pinot that absorbs its oak and ages well. If you want to taste what a cool, windswept volcanic site does to Oregon Pinot Noir, this is the bottle to try.","brand":"Grand Cru Selections [GCR]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50961126785081,"sku":"NYC-W-GCR-`GCRU9824-24`-102726-7","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-5657.jpg?v=1793395041","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/walter-scott-pinot-noir-sojeau-vineyard-2024","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
