Eyrie, Pinot Noir Sisters Vineyard Dundee Hills, 2022

Sisters Vineyard is a four-acre experimental farm planted in the late 1980s with Pommard and Wadenswill Pinot Noir clones, named after the three Pinot sisters: noir, blanc, and gris. This 2022 release, matured in used oak, shows a pale garnet color with aromas of dried cherries, shiitake mushrooms, underbrush and spice. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled with earth-laced flavors of boysenberries and black tea, hints of coriander, sage and crushed brick dust, all with soft, silky tannins and bright acidity. A mineral-driven expression of quality Dundee Hills terroir.
