House Block

2008 Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

The Methven Family Vineyards House Block Pinot Noir from the 2008 vintage is a delectable expression of the Eola-Amity Hills, showcasing a captivating red hue that hints at its depth and complexity. This wine features a graceful body that is elegantly balanced, complemented by a bright acidity that keeps the palate refreshed and engaged. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark cherry, raspberry, and subtle hints of plum, harmonizing beautifully with undertones of spice and earthy nuances. The tannins are notably firm yet refined, contributing to the wine's structure and aging potential. Overall, this Pinot Noir is beautifully dry, making it an ideal companion for a variety of culinary delights, from roasted chicken to wild mushroom risotto.

Willamette Valley
Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
