The 2024 Pinot Noir Avni blends vibrant black cherry with sweet sage and clove to form an inviting bouquet. This is soft-textured with silken depths of ripe wild berry fruit propelled by juicy acidity. It leaves chalky mineral tones and a hint of wild blueberry that pucker the cheeks and call me back for more.

Vineyards: 
The 2023 Avni Pinot Noir includes a third of the fruit coming from LSV, our estate. The other sources include a site in Yamhill-Carlton on Jory soils, and Loubejac in the Van Duzer Corridor, a cold site on Willakenzie marine sediment. This year we added a source to the blend from the recently created Mt. Pisgah region with its uplifted marine sedimentary soils.

Vinification:
Hand-harvested, sorted, and destemmed. Grapes are fed bin by bin into small tanks, and pumped into larger stainless steel and concrete tanks, where they ferment spontaneously with wild yeasts. 10% of the fruit undergoes a traditional carbonic maceration in airtight tanks. After fermentation, the wine is aged in 25% new French 500, 600, and 3,200-liter casks. It finishes aging sur lie around 11 months with a further three months in tank before bottling.
