Eola-Springs Vineyard sits on the west side of the appellation, exposed to the Van Duzer Corridor’s winds, but situated low enough on the hill to not be obliterated. The vineyard was planted in 1972 to Pommard and Dijon clones, oriented to the southwest at 340 feet elevation. The soils are a combination of sedimentary (Nekia) and volcanic (Jory). LIVE certified, farmed sustainably, purchased recently by Judy Jordan (formerly of J in California). Notorious for its spicy, red/black fruit with lots of power, and as Adam says, “totally sexy”.

Tech Sheet

93pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 2016 vintage

“(50% whole clusters and 50% new French oak) Vivid red. Spice-tinged black raspberry and cherry scents are complicated by hints of cola, pungent flowers and smoky minerals. Sweet and seamless on the palate, offering energetic red and dark berry and vanilla flavors along with suggestions of rose pastille and blood orange that add complexity. Concentrated but vibrant and precise in character, delivering strong finishing thrust, interwoven tannins and excellent, floral-driven persistence.”
