2020 Willamette Valley Vineyards 'Elton' Pinot Noir Willamette Valley

Winemaker Notes: Ruby in color with aromas of cherry, blackberry, caramel and earth, the wine offers flavors that mirror aromas with the addition of cranberry, raisin and baking spices. The palate is medium bodied and silky with integrated tannins and tense acidity.

Elton: In 2006, Wine & Spirits listed it as one of the five key vineyards in the new Eola-Amity Hills American Viticultural Area. In 2007, Elton Vineyard was named one of Oregon’s top ten vineyards by Wine Press Northwest. Planted in 1983, the vineyard now includes 60 acres on east-southeast slopes of the Eola Hills. The elevation rises from 250-500 feet, and the soil is Jory and Nekia.
