A classic Oregon Pinot Noir. This cuvée is a combination of both
estategrown fruit and thoughtfully selected vineyard blocks from
partner vineyards.

A throwback to a forgotten winemaking method. We devised a way to keep the ‘cap’ of Merlot grape skins submerged during the entirety of the fermentation, resulting in a dark yet softly extracted wine. By keeping the cap submerged, the color and flavor-rich grape skins were in constant contact with the fermenting juice, providing wonderful intensity and structure. Aromas of blueberry, cherry, and cured meat, this wine is purple-hued and concentrated. The palate displays the pure dark blueberry and plum fruits in a concentrated but curiously soft extraction from the Submerged Cap process.

This gift set takes you on a journey through time with three different vintages, each unfolding its own history as the wine is poured. Taste through 2017, 2018, and 2019 Amaterra Willamette Valley Pinot Noir's each showcasing its unique journey from grape to bottle to glass.

 Guadalupe Vineyard is in the Dundee Hills AVA, however, it has
transitional soils such that most of the vines are in ancient marine
sediment. The bright red fruit profile of this wine is framed with a
pleasant spiciness from the 20% whole clusters in the fermentation.
This Pommard-clone Pinot Noir is elegant in style and begs for a classic
pairing with Pacific Northwest Salmon
