The WIne

This small wine lot was chosen from a unique selection of barrels in our quarter-mile-long underground cave and represents a beautifully rare representation of our Red Hills Vineyard. This wine has approximately 30% new French oak and 30% whole-cluster inclusion to showcase the briny and rusty, red fruited characteristics of our Red Hills Vineyard site.

Since Gary Andrus launched Archery Summit in 1993, our estate's affinity for whole-cluster fermentations has only grown. We feel like the red fruit character of Pinot noir wines from the Dundee Hills work very well with the nuances whole-cluster fermentations give our wines. With mindful extraction of whole cluster in our small batch ferments, we strive to make wines that showcase subtle spice, a lovely textured palate and longevity in the bottle.

THe Winery

Archery Summit Winery has assembled an iconic family of vineyards over the years: five estate vineyards and three grower sites covering four unique American Viticultural Areas. Because we focus on Pinot noir, our commitment to terroir and the refined flavors of place has only grown. With a quarter century of winemaking and winegrowing experience, we are proud to have helped bring well-deserved fame to Willamette Valley wine and are eager to take it to even higher ground.
