Hope Well, Pinot Noir Estate Eola-Amity Hills, 2023
At Hope Well, farming is more than organic—it’s a living system. Mimi Casteel, daughter of the Bethel Heights legacy and a leading voice in regenerative viticulture, has transformed her Eola-Amity Hills estate into a model of biodiversity, soil health, and carbon-positive winegrowing. Her wines are deeply site-expressive and handled with extreme care, both in the vineyard and the cellar.
The 2023 Estate Pinot Noir is a direct expression of that philosophy. Made with native yeasts, whole cluster fermentation, and minimal sulfur, the wine is bright and perfumed: wild strawberry, cherry skin, and forest floor, with notes of rose petal and spice. The texture is sleek and alive, framed by fresh acidity and a gentle mineral core shaped by the site's volcanic and marine sediment soils.
Unlike many richer Willamette Pinots, Hope Well leans into restraint and nuance—this is Pinot for lovers of Volnay, Arbois, or early Eyrie. No new oak, no extraction—just precision, vitality, and a quiet depth that rewards attention.
Best enjoyed with herb-roasted poultry, mushroom risotto, or lentils and root vegetables, and worth cellaring for a few years to let its savory layers deepen.
