La Source

2012 Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

Evening Land La Source is a stunning example of Oregon's Pinot Noir, hailing from the picturesque Eola-Amity Hills. This 2012 vintage presents a vibrant red color that captures the eye and invites exploration. The wine boasts a medium body that gracefully showcases its elegant structure, while the acidity remains bright and mouthwatering, offering a refreshing lift to the overall profile. The fruit intensity stands out prominently, with delightful notes of red cherry and raspberry mingling beautifully with subtle hints of earth and spice. As you savor each sip, the tannins reveal themselves as medium, providing a soft yet supportive backbone that enhances the wine's complexity. This remarkable Pinot Noir is undoubtedly dry, making it an ideal companion for a variety of culinary delights, perfectly embodying the terroir of its Eola-Amity Hills origins.

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.
