Bethel Heights 'Aeolian' Pinot Noir

From one of Oregon's oldest and most trusted estates, Bethel Heights has been making wonderfully balanced, complex Pinot Noirs from their estate vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills district since 1977. The combination of old, low-yielding vines, careful and meticulous farming, and expert winemaking come together to make this one of Oregon's most consistently delicious Pinot Noir values.

"The Aeolian has evolved in the ten vintages since we started making this wine, beginning as a means of expressing the ever-changing nature of our younger blocks and now settling in, as most things do at Bethel Heights, as a wine defined by place. Three blocks planted in 2002 high above the rest of the vineyard continue to make up most of this wine, but in 2022 we decided to include a small amount (20%) of fruit from Justice Vineyard as well. The 2022 Aeolian presents both purity and power; aromas of red cherry, rhubarb, and raspberry, tremendous tension through the mid palate, and delicate fine grain tannins through the finish." - Winemaker Notes
