Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Named Erendira's Rise to commemorate the Pre-Columbian princess that overcame her fear of horses and rode in rebellion against the Spanish. After making Malbec in Argentina for more than a decade, but having built our business from Oregon, we thought it fitting that we finally try our hand with the challenging variety of Pinot Noir. This wine is sourced from top vineyard sites in the Willamette Valley's Yamhill-Carlton, McMinnville, Chehalem Mountain and Eola-Amity Hills AVA's. Clonal selection is Pommard, Dijon 115, Dijon 777, and Dijon 667.

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    Lithe and expressive, taut and focused, with cherry, mint and sassafras flavors playing against velvety tannins, finishing long. Drink now through 2020.
  • 91
    At first the scents and flavors of cola, root beer and Dr Pepper seem to dominate, though not unpleasantly. The impact continues with brown sugar, molasses and black cherry fruit—a soda-lover’s wine. But there is more here as it breathes, adding texture and weight, with streaks of licorice, smoke and tar.

Ermisch Hannah Ermisch Winery Image

Kirk Ermisch has a wine production career dating back to 1995. He started the Seven Peaks winery with Ian Shepard, now Penfolds' Chief Winemaker. He was also the Project Manager of Kendall Jackson's Tapiz winery. In 2000, he restored the historic winery of Bodega Calle in Argentina, and later became its majority shareholder. Since 2010, Ermisch has been taking his love for cool climate Pinot Noir the logical next step, making small parcels of wine here in his home state of Oregon. Kirk has always preferred complexity and character over sheer power, and the Willamette Valley vineyards he works with, reflect that with each vintage. As with all the wines he makes, grapes are sustainably farmed, hand-picked, carefully fermented in separate lots in open top fermenters, and then aged in French oak barrels for a year prior to bottling.

Home of some of the planet’s most amazingly elegant and expressive Pinot noir, the Willamette Valley is a pastoral, mixed landscape of green, bucolic rolling hills, dramatic forestlands and small, independent, friendly wine growers. As a leader in environmental stewardship, the valley has some of the nation’s most protective land use policies, with two-thirds of its vineyards farmed sustainably and over half, organically. While the valley claims a cool, continental climate, and is heavily influenced by the cold, moist winds of the Pacific Ocean, its warm and dry summers allow for the steady, even ripening of Pinot noir.

The potential of Willamette Valley Pinot noir continues to attract the investment of serious growers and winemakers both locally and from abroad, as naturally the finished wines bring accolades from professionals and enthusiasts. With a range of styles from delicate dried cherry, raspberry and hibiscus to stronger notes of truffle, mocha, plum and spice, a fine Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a perfect expression of both character and grace.
