The Five Mountain vineyard is set on a steep southeast facing slope in the Chehalem Mountains AVA, with a spectacular view of the five volcanoes of the Cascade Range - hence the name. This historic vineyard on loess soil was planted in 1978.  Five Mountain now totals 30 acres including the original 4.2 acres of old-vine Pommard clone Pinot Noir.

The fruit is fermented in small, temperature controlled steel tanks, hand punched down twice daily and barrelled in 23% new French oak barrels. After 10 months of aging, only the barrels that are most representative of the Five Mountain profile are carefully blended to create a rich, earthy Oregon Pinot Noir.

Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir

Tasting note: A seductive nose of bramble fruits,  damson a touch of pepper and hints of game. Plump, juicy palate full of forthright, expressive Pinot character with an earthy undertone. The tsnnins are ripe, soft and long. A top-quality Oregon Pinot Noir.
