the wines

Our 2023 Audeant Pinot Noir is assembled to capture the beauty of small, thoughtfully tended vineyards tucked against forests high in the hills of the Willamette Valley. Late ripening sites, farmed organically and with a focus on biodiversity, deliver fruit packed with energy, ripened by light, wrapped around a tensile core of crushed rock and vibrant acidity.

Our 2022 Audeant Pinot Noir perfectly captures the broad spectrum of experience the vintage has to offer. It is bell rung clear red fruited energy, juxtaposed against a sappy richness and fine persistent structure. We continue to be blessed by winegrowers who care as much as we do about the wines being put to bottle, and are happy to collaborate, push boundaries and oblige our rigorous demands.

Our 2018 Audeant Pinot Noir is comprised of fruit from small lots, meticulously tended to by hand at Luminous Hills, Carlisle’s Crest, Nysa and Cherry Grove vineyards. Aromas unwind from the glass radiating with dark red fruit, cassis, black tea and herbs. In kind, the palate reverberates, extending out in all directions framed by the kind of structure that will carry this wine beautifully over its long potential ageing.

This bottling is the third in a series of yearly explorations. Representative of how finely we’ve chosen to delineate the boundaries of our physical terroirs. Here two barrels shone throughout their elevage with an interior light impossible to ignore. One from Luminous Hills vineyard and one from Stardance vineyard, each perched facing due East in the foothills of Oregon’s Coast Range, and the result of minimally extracted cuvasions.

The 2022 Luminous Hills is no less stunning than its 2021 counterpart and a true testament to the terroir of this remarkable place. This was the last pick, well into October, of a late ripening vintage. That time on the vine built layers of nuance, depth and intensity of aroma. Fermented with seventy percent whole clusters, it is a lifted exotic wine on a lithe frame of fine tannin, poised for a multi decade unfurling.

The 2022 Nysa bottling feels like a jewel mined directly from the core of the Dundee Hills themselves. We continue to hone our understanding of these old vines, a place that radiates through vintage, consistently speaking its truth. In a vintage that could become easily over extracted, seventy-five percent of the whole clusters were included, bringing light to the wine, lifting its aromatic purity and providing a sturdy backbone for aging. This is perhaps our most immediately charming Nysa bottling to date.
