2024 Lonesome Rock The Estate Pinot Noir

2024 The Estate Pinot Noir Magnum

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir from Every Block of Our High-Elevation Estate

Release Date: 3/10/2026

Bottled in magnum, this seamless portrait of our remote hillside vineyard, where clone, soil, and exposure converge in a Pinot Noir of aromatic lift, silken texture, and quiet, lingering minerality.

Each year, The Estate Pinot Noir reflects the full breadth of the Lonesome Rock Vineyard—its windswept slopes, fractured volcanic soils, and shifting light across varied exposures. Fruit from every Pinot Noir block is brought together in this cuvée, including clones 667, 777, Wadenswil, and PN50, planted in 2007 and 2015, to form a singular and complete expression of the estate.

The 2024 growing season unfolded slowly and evenly, with moderate summer temperatures and a cool, calm September that allowed for an unhurried harvest and long, balanced ripening without pressure from heat or weather events.

Coming soon.
The fruit was harvested by hand across three picks into small picking bins to preserve whole berries. After hand-sorting and full destemming, berries underwent a 4–5 day cold maceration, fermented with ambient yeast, and were hand-punched during fermentation. The wine was transferred to 100% French oak barrels (20% new) and aged in cold cellar for 11 months before a light filtration at bottling.

In many ways, winegrowing is a study in timing and weather—how conditions unfold at budbreak, bloom, and harvest. In 2024, each of these moments aligned unusually well. The growing season progressed slowly and steadily, marked by moderate temperatures and only a few brief heat events through the summer. September delivered cool days and cold nights, allowing us to harvest deliberately and at an unhurried pace, with no pressure from storms or extreme weather. The result was a long, even ripening cycle that favored balance, freshness, and precision.
