Our 2022 Audeant Pinot Noir perfectly captures the broad spectrum of experience the vintage has to offer. It is bell rung clear red fruited energy, juxtaposed against a sappy richness and fine persistent structure. We continue to be blessed by winegrowers who care as much as we do about the wines being put to bottle, and are happy to collaborate, push boundaries and oblige our rigorous demands.

Our 2019 Audeant Pinot Noir is a classic throwback. Coastal forest thicket, bright red fruit streaming out in every direction at once, perched on a finely grained stony framework. A sub-13% alcohol tells a different story than the expansive palate and taught long finish seem to indicate.

2019 Luminous Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir - We farm two blocks at this dramatic vineyard, planted high in the foothills of Oregon’s Coast range. One a steep east facing slope of 667 clone planted on decomposed volcanic material, and the other a gentle bench facing South South-East planted on ancient marine sediment, with a thin transitional layer of volcanic material.

Our 2018 Audeant Pinot Noir is comprised of fruit from small lots, meticulously tended to by hand at Luminous Hills, Carlisle’s Crest, Nysa and Cherry Grove vineyards. Aromas unwind from the glass radiating with dark red fruit, cassis, black tea and herbs. In kind, the palate reverberates, extending out in all directions framed by the kind of structure that will carry this wine beautifully over its long potential ageing.

The 2018 Nysa Vineyard Pinot Noir continues our history with this legendary site, producing wines of mind bending complexity, depth and finesse. Always requiring the most patience, one is rewarded with a cornucopia of scents and flavors across a spectrum of red fruits, pine, pipe tobacco and the “su bois” of the surrounding forest. Our small plot of 30 plus year old vines have reached an ideal maturity, needing little but a few gentle passes throughout the growing season to transmit their message of sunlight via place into your glass.

Once again the 2018 Luminous Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir is the most aromatically expressive wine in the cellar, exotic sage, melon, crème de cassis and dry stones. This remarkable site gave us perfectly lignified stems in this vintage which were included in the fermentation bringing an open-knit life and lift to the silky fruit on the palate.

The 2017 Audeant Pinot Noir is a meticulously arranged blend of choice lots from Nysa, Luminous Hills, and Carlisle’s Crest vineyards. Aromatically the wine presents clear bright red fruit, bramble and warm toasted spice. On the palate tart juicy red raspberry fruit, like the hard candy on your grandmother’s coffee table, buoy the fine tannin, black tea and persistent finish.

The 2017 Luminous Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir is limpid and abundantly aromatic. Clean and purely driven as the rain that we hurriedly shielded the fruit from with tarps as we picked. It has the framework of tannin and acid that lend to long life in the bottle, with an overflowing core of red and blue fruit, belying its combination of ancient sedimentary and volcanic soils.

The 2017 Nysa Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from 30 year old, own rooted vines, in the heart of the Dundee hills. Similarly red fruited but more classic Dundee cherry, soaringly floral aromatics of blood orange and iron rich soil, the wine has more of everything, acid, fruit, earth, and spice. The wine is intense, but intensely lovely.

The 2016 Audeant Pinot Noir revealed itself to us over the course of its élevage, as truly a vinous extension of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Tasting a barrel we’d say to ourselves, “well that smells like Oregon.” What seems like it should be true, is often profoundly exciting when it is. Clear, rain-fed streams filtered through mossy thickets of bramble and life-filled earth. Soaking and lingering red fruit buoyed with the sappy green frame of its stems. Firm, dense and a bit brooding as the vintage dictated, but full of the energy and joy that was poured over it during its life in our cellar. Poised and ever-expanding, its best days are ahead of it.
