2022 The Eyrie Vineyards Trousseau, Dundee Hills, Oregon, USA

Eyrie’s Jason Lett and crew planted the Willamette Valley’s first Trousseau noir in 2012. The vividly red wine has aromas of dark berries, loam, and baking spices. Acidity and smoothness are perfectly balanced on the palate, with evolving flavors of herbs and fruits such as blackberry, pomegranate, and rhubarb. Light tannins combine with a precise, long finish to suggest promising ageability.

ABOUT THIS WINE

Trousseau is an ancient variety, originating in France’s Jura region and centered in the
hillside village of Montigny-les-Arsures. In 2012, inspired by these wines, Jason Lett
planted the Willamette Valley’s first Trousseau.

The Trousseau is made from estate-grown, no-till organic grapes and transformed to
juice by wild yeast. It aged in neutral oak puncheons for 10 months. Jason strives to make a Trousseau that’s the truest expression of the fruit. That’s why he's chosen to not fine or filter this wine, and to bottle it with moderate levels of sulfur.
