Erath Willakia Vineyard Pinot Noir is a single-vineyard expression from the Eola-Amity Hills AVA in Oregon's Willamette Valley, produced by Erath Winery, one of the pioneering estates of Oregon wine. This 750ml bottle showcases the distinct terroir of the Eola-Amity Hills, where shallow, well-drained soils derived from ancient lava flows, marine sediments, and alluvial deposits force vines to dig deep, yielding small, intensely flavored grapes.

The wine is 100% Pinot Noir, aged 15 months in 100% French oak with 25% new barrels. Aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, and hints of lilac lead into notes of button mushrooms and forest floor, with concentration balanced by lively acidity and a lush yet delicate finish. The Eola-Amity Hills AVA benefits from cool Pacific air streaming through the Van Duzer Corridor, preserving natural acidity and extending the growing season for exceptional complexity. Critical scores have reached 92 points from Wine Spectator.

Pairs well with pork tenderloin with cherry compote, stuffed acorn squash with wild rice, and grilled steak with chimichurri. Alcohol: 12.5%.
