The Valin-Morrissey vineyard, which consists of two blocks – lower (Valin) and upper (Morrissey). Originally a land lease, Rex Hill Vineyards paid to develop this property. Years later when they started cutting away properties, Valin-Morrissey was the last on the chopping block. We thought it was crazy to let such an incredible site go and pounced on it, farming it collaboratively and sustainably. Yields wines of classic Eola-Amity Hills character: cola, tobacco, cherries and cardamom all day long.

Tech Sheet

92pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 2017 vintage

“Deep brilliant red. Mineral-driven raspberry, cherry and potpourri aromas show very good clarity and pick up hints of cola and Asian spices with air. Palate-staining, sappy red fruit and spicecake flavors are given lift and spine by a core of juicy acidity. Densely packed but lithe in style, finishing very long and spicy, with smooth tannins lending gentle grip. (30% whole clusters and 40% new French oak)”
