Prince Hill Vineyard was planted to Pinot Noir in 1983 by Dick Erath. The site’s red Jory soil and cool Willamette Valley climate make it the ideal growing environment for expressive Pinot Noir.
The vineyard is Southeast facing that sits above the fog line where there is ample airflow. Warm and dry summer days punctuated by cool evenings help the grapes ripen slowly and evenly, maximizing flavor development.
