Light and sleek, with spicy, earthy, doughy overtones to the quiet red berry flavors at the core, gaining traction on the finish against grippy tannins. Has elegance to spare. Best from 2016 through 2022.

Wine Enthusiast
Lush, ripe, tasty red fruits push quickly to the front of this appealing wine. You’ll find hints of gun metal, cola and more, but it’s the fruit that keeps you re-filling your glass. Just as good on the second day, this is a wine to purchase in quantity.

Hyland Vineyard began planting in 1971 by four pioneering friends with own-rooted Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling & Gewurztraminer that now totals 185 acres. Located in the McMinnville AVA of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Hyland Vineyard is the largest contiguous and second oldest single vineyard site in Oregon. The Hyland Vineyard is LIVE Certified Sustainable. The LIVE Certified Sustainable Wine logo on a bottle is your assurance of sustainably produced, authentic Northwest wine.
In 2007, the property changed hands to new caretakers led by Laurent Montalieu who felt that this vineyard had to be left wild and untamed. He wanted the land to speak in its own voice, adopting a "land not hand" philosophy. The block, the elevation, the growing season and the individual expression of every vine is present in the glass. Quiet and self-sufficient, the vines produce a textually mature, high-concentrated juice that come with decades of establishing oneself firmly into the land. This is Hyland Estates.
