The Eyrie Vineyards Estate Pinot Meunier 2019

2019 was perhaps the most “Burgundian” autumn yet. Typically the Willamette Valley features wet winters and dry summers, whereas Burgundy distributes its rain evenly throughout the year. In 2019 we had a more Burgundian pattern, with rain and cooler days scattered throughout the pre-picking period.

Vines make sugar from air, sunlight, and water. 2019’s well-timed rains increased sweetness while still retaining acidity - which leads to some of the best qualities a wine can have: refreshing and food friendly when young, but with superb cellar potential.
