2018 | Abbott Claim | Pinot Noir

Wild yeasts are used for fermentation, which brings some unusual floral and textural components. The wine is lightly ripened, with cranberry, raspberry and mineral highlights.

Producer Information

Abbott Claim Vineyard is defined by the Savannah Ridge, a protected ridge line that sits on ancient, fractured, well-draining oceanic sandstone — some of the oldest soils in the Willamette Valley. Just a small portion of the 170 acres is planted with vines, leaving the rest to polyculture and natural habitat. The broad hillsides are protected by the Dundee Hills to the east, the Chehalem Mountains to the north, and the Coast Range to the west, creating a unique rain shadow pushing cooler, wetter weather north. Pinot noir and Chardonnay planted here interact with the native oak savannah, the cooling pine forests, the bramble and wild sour cherries. The vines internalize this diverse terroir over time, gathering subtle, yet intricate imprints in each year’s crop. These influences and confluences provide a depth of concentration, vibrancy and complexity for fresh, long-lived wines.
