The 2022 Pinot Noir Latchkey Vineyard is from 18-year-old vines grown on ancient volcanic soils. A bit deeper ruby red, it’s aromatic of black raspberries, rosemary, pressed flowers, and anise. Medium to full-bodied, it is ripe with a rounded, plush, approachable feel, but it has seamless structure and is going to age gracefully over the coming 12-15 years.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Latchkey Vineyard comes from dry-farmed Pommard vines planted in Jory soils in 2006. It has intense, layered aromas of blueberry, pomegranate and rhubarb, plus nuances of rooibos tea leaves, earth and soaring floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with generous, spicy flavors. It’s structured by velvety tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, layered finish.

The Vineyard: Latchkey Vineyard—an estate vineyard—is situated at 500 feet on a southeastern aspect in the Dundee Hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Its rich, 100-percent Jory soils are famous for yielding fruit of remarkable depth and complexity. Planted mainly to Pinot Noir from the Pommard family as well as Chardonnay, the vineyard spans 13 acres that stretch from the top of the hill down to the country road below.

Latchkey Vineyard is owned by Scott and Michele Campbell, long-time fans of Willamette Valley wine. When the Campbells discovered a plot of ground bordering notable vineyards—including Archery Summit, Willakenzie, Ayoub, and Holstein—they knew it was soil to build a future on. As investors in Purple Hands, their partnership with Cody and Marque Wright is the product of deep friendship, joyously empty wine bottles, and a shared passion for wine.
