Boysenberry, black cherry, hibiscus and blood orange lift this Eola-Amity Hills Pinot. Light on its feet and refreshingly bright, it shows fresh raspberry, orange peel and a hint of spice, with an energetic, finely detailed finish.

Winemaking: The 2024 Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir is made with a light “infusion” approach inspired by French techniques that Sashi Moorman introduced to the cellar in 2019. The fruit was 100% destemmed and fermented with native yeast, uninoculated for both primary and malolactic fermentation, with the cap left undisturbed and no punchdowns or pumpovers. After two to three weeks the wine was pressed and racked into neutral French oak 228-liter barrels, and it was bottled unfiltered. Winemaking is led by John Faulkner and Netanya Welch.
Vineyards and terroir: The fruit comes from east-facing parcels of Evening Land's Seven Springs Vineyard, on the cool, wind-swept slopes of the Eola-Amity Hills.
Family and history: Salem Wine Company is an Oregon project rooted in the Eola-Amity Hills, with this bottling as its Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir, a Pinot-based wine that also includes a portion of Gamay Noir.
