Over the years this wine has seen a distinct evolution. Part of it is the inclusion of a greater number of vineyards and blocks which, certainly at a very fundamental level, would obviously create a different nature for the finished wine. However, the real changes are far more important. The vine age we have accumulated in this AVA is significant. Only 1 barrel in the blend is not at least 30 years in vine age and nearly half of the volume comes from barrels that are 44-50 years in vine age. In addition, the quality of farming in Oregon, specifically in the Dundee Hills, has increased dramatically over the past 15 years. Nothing could be better for a winery than to have excellent, unique sites that are well farmed and that have significant vine age to them. This wine definitely reflects the entire ecosystem place-ness that the Jory soil in the Dundee Hills famously brings to wines. The 2021 vintage’s surprising brightness and high-toned nature meshes nicely with this wine’s inherent nature to be lushly fruited, silky in texture and delicious from the get go. There is a lot of history here, both of vineyards and geology.
