Tasting Notes:
A vibrant and quietly powerful Eola–Amity Pinot Noir. Aromas of red cherry, dried rose, pomegranate, and forest floor lead to a lifted palate with juicy acidity, fine tannins, and a mineral-driven core. Savory spice, crushed herbs, and a touch of whole-cluster crunch add complexity and length.

Food Pairings:
Perfect with roast duck, mushroom ragù, cedar plank salmon, or lentil stew. Elegant and contemplative with enough structure for cellaring.

About the Producer:
Perkins Harter is a small, Oregon-based project crafting expressive, site-driven wines with minimal intervention. Focused on organic vineyard sources and native fermentations, their Bracken Vineyard Pinot reflects the purity and tension of Eola–Amity’s windswept slopes.
