Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Noir Outcrop Vineyard
Wine Information
This vineyard is named for the underlying outcrop of rock ridging perpendicularly to the hillside. Outcrop overlooks our original vineyard. The five acres of Pinot here were planted to Wadenswil clone between 1982 and 2000. The elevation runs from 280’ up to 360’ and faces north north-east. In spite of the northern exposure, reflected heat from the Original Vines planting warms the site.
Outcrop was planted in 1982. A hint of leather (not too much) along with scents of sassafras and crushed roses, open into a peppery palate with cranberries and red fruits. Ample acidity carries it into a penetrating finish. Drink 2020 through 2035 and beyond. --WE *Cellar Selection
