Region: Yamhill-Carlton AVA  + Eola-Amity Hills AVA < Willamette Valley < Oregon Grapes: Pinot Noir Vineyard/Cellar Stats: Organic farming (uncertified); soils formedfrom volcanic remnants, a clay and broken rock soil locally calledNekia, and marine sedimentary overlay against basalt bedrock; for thecarbonic fermentations, we created a pied de cuve (early nativeferment) with a small amount of grapes to build a strong yeastpopulation from the native flora from each vineyard, and these wereadded to the ferments after a few days of carbon dioxide enrichment.With these lots, we fermented each site in a stainless steel closedtop tank. Ultimately each of the ferments lasted about between 20-25days on the skins. The wines were aged for 5 months in a combinationof one concrete tank and several old French oak barrels; bottledunfined and unfiltered with minimal SO2; 13.4% ABV; 367 casesWinemaker: Kate Norris and Tom MonroeYoung, juicy Oregon Pinot gets the carbo treatment, a la Beaujolais
