The 2022 Aeolian presents both purity and power; aromas of red cherry, rhubarb, and raspberry, tremendous tension through the mid palate, and delicate fine grain tannins through the finish.

All the fruit was destemmed into a mix of 1.5 ton bins and 3 to 4 ton stainless steel tanks. Cap management began with punch-downs for the first few days of active fermentation and shifted to pump-overs after we reached a peak temperature of 88° F. The wine was pressed at dryness and barrel aged 10 months in French oak, 25% new barrels.

Certified Organically grown in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA of Willamette Valley. Three blocks planted in 2002 high above the rest of the vineyard continue to make up most of this wine, but in 2022 we decided to include a small amount (20%) of fruit from Justice Vineyard as well.
