Abbott Claim Pinot Noir

Abbott Claim Vineyard

In the dialogue between earth and vine, sun and sky, our original estate vineyard is its own declaration, occupying a golden Yamhill-Carlton ridgeline on ancient sedimentary soil. Cooling afternoon breezes, dense stands of Douglas firs, fields of native grasses and wildflowers, subterranean white truffles… All of these imprint their signatures upon Abbott Claim Vineyard, making for structured, soulful fruit and enigmatic revelations in the glass.

grapes were strictly hand-sorted and then fermented using native yeast in oak, concrete and stainless-steel vessels. This season, thirty percent of clusters were kept whole. The wines were then aged eighteen months in French oak barrels and kept unfined and unfiltered ahead of bottling.
