2021 Pinot Noir, Hirschy Vineyard
Amaterra
Hirschy Vineyard is located in the heart of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. At 400 feet elevation, the vines are planted surrounding an iconic barn that is visible from miles away. The blocks that Amaterra works with are due-south exposure and combined with the Willakenzie soils lead to dark-fruited and well-structured wines.
