Producer Notes: 

VINEYARDS | The 2024 Violet Hill hails from two distinct growing regions in the Willamette Valley. Most of the fruit (80%) is from three contiguous vineyards in the foothills of the Santium Pass, planted to various clones on primarily volcanic soils (Ancient Jory). This area is the gateway to the Cascade Mountain Range, where the south-facing, high-elevation vines (1000ft) can struggle to ripen. In warm vintages like 2024, the natural acidity and resulting structure are stunning. The other component of the blend is fruit from the Roe & Roe vineyard in Ribbon Ridge AVA, which is the polar opposite regarding ripeness and total degree days, yielding opulent, juicy grapes.

WINEMAKING | Primary fermentation in small open-top vats is followed by malolactic conversion and six months of aging in a combination of French oak and tank.

TASTING NOTES | The complementary nature of the two growing sites is obvious -- super juicy, ripe, rich red fruit flavors balanced by a crisp, linear acid structure. Crush this one on its own or pair it with your favorite spring/summer fare.
