2022 Hyland Coury Clone/ Pinot Noir

The Hyland Coury Clone is consistently a favorite bottling of ours with its distinctive herbal nose that evolves into floral aromatics. The 2022 Hyland Estate Coury Clone Pinot Noir, sourced from historic vines planted in 1973 in the McMinnville AVA, offers a more introspective profile.  Sourced from one of the oldest blocks of vines in the Willamette Valley,  the old-world clone make for a beautifully structured wine that is enjoyable now but designed to cellar well.

This is a spice driven (versus fruit driven) wine that evolves beautifully in the glass. It starts off as savory on the nose and palate but give it a moment and you will see woodsy notes and a beautiful floral finish. It is this dynamic, evolving wine that continually brings us back to analyze and savor. These beloved old vines yield a wine of layered nuance: cranberry, black tea, lavender, and a distinct volcanic minerality unfold slowly.

The palate balances vibrant red fruit with savory spice and fine-grained structure, finishing with elegance and quiet persistence. It is a soulful tribute to one of the valley’s most cherished vineyards — and with a heavy heart, we share that 2022 marks our final vintage sourcing fruit beyond our own estate. This wine stands as both celebration and farewell.

The 2022 Reserve Pinot Noir is our barrel selection of the vintage — a focused blend highlighting predominantly Pommard Clone (70%) with 30% Dijon 115 from our estate vineyards on Ribbon Ridge AVA. Aged in 50% new French oak, this Reserve is intentionally built to be bolder and more structured. Aromas of black cherry, boysenberry, and violet are layered with subtle cedar.

On the palate, the Pommard core delivers dark fruit concentration and depth, while Dijon 115 lends lift and fine aromatic detail. Silky yet firm tannins frame notes of plum, blackberry, and forest floor, carrying into a long, savory finish marked by clove and a faint mineral edge from Ribbon Ridge’s marine sedimentary soils.

This is a wine of power and composure — structured for longevity, yet beautifully balanced.

The Weight is sourced from three of our favorite vineyards and includes fruit from Dukes Family Vineyard, Malaris Vineyard, and Bieze Vineyard. The selected barrels were blended to feature the rich aromatics and balanced dark berry notes from each site. Look for vanilla and hints of mint on the nose. On the palate look for dark berry notes, tobacco, and a long smooth finish. The Weight includes Wadensvil, Dijon 777, Dijon 667, and Pommard clones. This is a well-balanced and elegant pinot that we encourage you to cellar until at least 2026. 

Our flagship Pinot Noir captures the essence of our estate at the top of Ribbon Ridge, blending Pommard, Dijon 115, and Dijon 777 clones. Aromas of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and black tea mingle with hints of rose petal and cedar. The palate is vibrant yet layered, balancing juicy red and black fruits with savory spice and fine-grained tannins. A long, mineral-driven finish reflects the character of the site. Irresistible now, but best enjoyed 2026–2033 for peak complexity.
