This certified organic vineyard is located on a high ridge in the middle of Eola-Amity Hills. The windy site on thin soil produces dark red fruit, smoky spice, and vibrant Pinot noir.
Gently whole-cluster pressing the barely-ripe Pinot noir, I take only the first clear juice, cold ferment it, and leave a touch of sweetness. The name came from the pale pink or "Eye of the Partridge" color. It has become a delightful summer sipper and picnic wine.
