2014 Evesham Wood “Le Puits Sec” Pinot Noir

A single vineyard estate wine produced from older Pommard vines and aged for 20 months in French oak barrels (30% new). “Flavors and aromas of fresh black cherry and raspberry, with a dusting of Christmas spice are wrapped around a core of juicy, long-grained tannins.” Nestled on a lower terrace of the Eola-Amity Hills’ eastern slope in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, our east facing 13-acre estate vineyard, Le Puits Sec, was planted in 1986. The soils are primarily basalt-derived volcanic and very well drained, thus yielding pinot noirs with great structure and at the same time intense aromatics with finesse. Evesham Wood obtained organic certification for both our estate vineyard and winery from Oregon Tilth in 2000. In addition, we are charter members of the Deep Roots Coalition, an advocacy group for wines produced exclusively from non-irrigated vines. Since 2005 Evesham Wood has been associated with the international organic/biodynamic organization, “Renaissance des Appellations”, whose members are required to adhere to rigid organic and quality standards.
