Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The Meyer Vineyard is a long, steep site in the Dundee Hills that faces due south and features a variety of elevations, exposures and microclimates. The steepest, most exposed blocks create very ripe Pinot noir with deeply colored, often dense and multilayered wines, while the more sheltered, gentler slopes yield more subtle, mineral red-fruited wines. Their preferences often depend on the vintage. The 2012 Meyer combines fruit from multiple aspects of the vineyard to make a balanced, admittedly opulent wine. The fragrant nose reveals blueberry and kirsch accented by anise, smoke, sandalwood and earth. The palate is bright and fresh with focused, lithe red fruit driving to the finish, highlighted by darker fruit notes.

    Fresh, vibrant and open-textured, with tingly tannins around a glowing core of black cherry and clotted cream flavors, lingering deftly. Drink now through 2020.

Lemelson Introduction to Lemelson Winery Video

Lemelson Vineyards began as a dream - a dream to create a winery that celebrates innovation in technology, sustainability through nature, and tradition in winemaking.

Eric Lemelson started Lemelson Vineyards with the intention of building something that would not only serve their consumers, but also the longevity of the pristine state that he calls home. Utilizing organic farming methods and gravity flow production, they craft estate grown Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Riesling from some of the finest vineyards in the Willamette Valley.

Their commitment to the process extends to all facets of the winery life and ensures that all living components be they land, vine, or human - are well cared for. It’s their belief that the glass you’re enjoying at home starts before vines were ever planted. The process from planting to drinking must be nurtured at all steps.

When you drink Lemelson wine, you are not only drinking an elegant expressive Oregon Pinot, you’re taking part in their journey to protect the earth for generations to come and they thank you for that.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Home of the first Pinot noir vineyard of the Willamette Valley, planted by David Lett of Eyrie Vineyard in 1966, today the Dundee Hills AVA remains the most densely planted AVA in the valley (and state). To its north sits the Chehalem Valley and to its south, runs the Willamette River. Within the region’s 12,500 acres, about 1,700 are planted to vine on predominantly basalt-based, volcanic, Jory soil.
