2022 Pinot Noir Zenith Vineyard

Zenith Vineyard, planted in 2003, is a LIVE Certified sustainable property situated just over a mile from our estate in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Our collaboration with Zenith began in 2018 when we sourced Tempranillo grapes from their vineyard. Impressed by the fruit’s quality, we expanded our partnership in 2020 to include their Pinot Noir in our portfolio. Despite its proximity, Zenith’s wines offer a stark contrast to our volcanic estate. Its low elevation, protected southeastern aspect, and silty sediments deposited by the Missoula floods lead to a wine that is consistently well-behaved, characterized by its textural plushness and an open, expressive wine.
