Moved by the texture of the Jayer, Russ wondered to what degree the yeast in the wine was responsible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe saved the sediment from the bottle of Echezeaux and dumped it into some crushed fruit and got the fermentation going. He then innoculated a single fermenter of Temperance Hill Vineyard fruit with it. That fermenter was pressed down to three barrels and a year and a half later, he bottled a single barrel as the first vintage of Cuvée J. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobert Parker got ahold of a bottle and gave it the highest score of any Oregon wine at the time which put Evesham Wood on the national and international wine scene. A lab then isolated the yeast from that bottle and to this day still stores it for us, which we use every year for all of Evesham Wood’s Pinot noir’s. Through the years as the blend grew, other vineyards made there way into Cuvée J, including Seven Springs and then our estate vineyard, Le Puits Sec. For the last ten years it has been a six barrel selection from Le Puits Sec. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore Jayer passed away in 2006, Russ visited him and gave him a bottle of Evesham Wood Cuvée J.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2011 vintage notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI just tried this again (Monday, 4\/14) and it's stunning, beginning to emerge and express the potential of its regal, elegant self.

Yes, those were different times. So, this bottling was actually labeled as “Oregon” from 2000- 2005. However, in 2002 we had 10 barrels from various vineyards that were very good, but not quite in line with what we were doing with the single vineyards the barrels came from, however we felt like they made a special wine above and beyond the Oregon bottling. We bottled them and called it “Reserve”. By 2006 it was clear that the Willamette Valley had made an indelible and lasting mark at a national and even international level and that it was time for us to ditch the Oregon moniker. However, the way our labels were set up back then we needed to have something in the stripe at the bottom of the label to identify the wine. To make this even more ponderous of a story, the issues in getting label approval back then were quite real as the ATF (at the time) did not have an online way to submit so approvals could take months. We decided to use the already approved “Reserve” label as we felt that this wine was more than some basic “Willamette Valley” bottling that had become a catchall for larger wineries cheapest Pinot Noir. And a decade and a half later it has all worked out. The wine is still an excellent quality Pinot Noir with vineyard sources that are quite astonishing given the wine’s place in our long lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patricia Green Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Regular Price","offer_id":5636057153,"sku":null,"price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Build a Case","offer_id":7788238721,"sku":"","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/5679\/products\/th_labela120919_1600_grande_20a08a4e-0b1f-4c68-9b93-11b12979e602.jpg?v=1600806224"},{"product_id":"patricia-green-cellars-freedom-hill-vineyard-pinot-noir","title":"Patricia Green Cellars Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023","description":"\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Patricia Green Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Regular Price","offer_id":5636492097,"sku":null,"price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Build a Case","offer_id":7788218561,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/5679\/products\/PGCFH.jpg?v=1606587818"},{"product_id":"walter-scott-cuvee-anne-chardonnay","title":"Walter Scott Cuvée Anne Chardonnay 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUs:\u003c\/strong\u003e The best vintage of Cuvée Anne, by far.

As Jason’s father, Eyrie founder David “Papa Pinot” Lett discovered—and the wine world soon learned—these ten rows express a magical spot where 6 different soil types converge.
