The Eyrie Vineyards is the historic birthplace of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, founded by pioneer David Lett in 1965. Today, winemaker Jason Lett continues his father's vision with non-irrigated, certified organic farming across five original estate vineyards in the Dundee Hills. Rooted in volcanic red Jory soil, Eyrie's Pinot Noirs are celebrated for their delicate color, restraint, moderate alcohol, and extraordinary ability to age gracefully for decades.

The 2022 "Estate" Pinot Noir draws on all five estate sites, including the Original Vines planted in 1965. Fermented spontaneously with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels with only about 12% new wood, the 2022 highlights classic Dundee Hills elegance: bright red cherries, wild raspberries, forest floor, dried tea leaf, and crushed iron.
