First things first: the "original vines" part. It used to be on the label and we think it should still be on the label so we include it in quotes. Why? Because there's only one Willamette Valley winery who can walk into the room and say "this wine is made from the original planting of Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley." If that's not a mic-drop moment, what is?
The historical importance of "original vines" cannot be overstated; its pedigree is unparalleled and I'm sitting in this chair writing to you about Willamette Valley Pinot Noir because of it. But the original part is not only in history and name--it is an original Pinot that is consistently like no other Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Never do you say to yourself "this reminds me of Eyrie's original vines" because nothing quite does.
A wine of tremendous character and ineffable finesse, I can put certain aspects in writing–the exquisite perfume of gently crushed red berries, fir forest, delicate rose, orange essence, black tea, seductive musk—but you have to experience it for yourself. The elusive Pinot noir-ness is mind-melting. When I taste through the Eyrie lineup, what distinguishes "original vines" is its symphonic ebb and flow from piano to forte, leaving a haunting Pinot purity. Sometimes other Eyrie Pinots will be flashier, but never will they be this original.
A truly collectible bottle of Pinot Noir, absolutely, but it the 2021 is so wonderfully captivating now due to the concentration and flavor density of the phenomenal 2021 vintage.
