2022 Division Wine Co. "Deux" Pinot Noir, Eola Springs Vineyard, Oregon, USA

An aromatic combination of dusty cherries and a tart note reminiscent of dill pickles. The wine's boysenberry and ginger snap cookie flavors feel light and tingly on the palate, backed by frisky acidity and soft tannins. A fantastic match with turkey burgers.

ABOUT THIS WINE

Way back in 2010 with excitement and curiosity in their eyes, Division founded their winery with a few tons of Pinot Noir & Chardonnay from the original plantings on Eola Spring Vineyard. They have celebrated some of our best wines made over the last 14 years and now must say adieu to this amazing site. 

A bittersweet moment indeed as they learned a few months after harvest 2021, that this would be the last year of the 50-year-old Pinot Noir vines at Eola Springs Vineyard, perhaps the oldest vines from the Eola-Amity Hills that were still productive. After 13 years of experience working with these old vines, the best word to describe them was “consistent” and consistently at the highest level of fruit quality that they have ever seen. This coupled with impeccable Biodynamic-principled farming and a very well-oiled winemaking machine, meant that they were able to produce very distinctive Pinot Noir.
