The Wine

“Smiling Irish Eyes” is a five-case lot of Pinot noir from the bounty of Fairsing Vineyard. This elegant and focused wine showcases the finest of our diverse estate vineyard and the abundant 2018 growing season.

The name “Smiling Irish Eyes” is a nod to our four grandchildren and the four diverse blocks in this barrel reserve bottling. These distinct personalities are artfully blended into a memorable wine.

With the celebration of our tenth vintage we continue our commitment to our heritage, regenerative farming and the smiles we seek to create.


The Winery

Fairsing Vineyard is an expression of Mary Ann and Mike McNally’s commitment to heritage, sustainability and the joys of life. Founded in 2005, we farm 38 acres of Pinot noir and five acres of Chardonnay on well-drained marine sedimentary soils in the Yamhill-Carlton appellation of the Willamette Valley. Our site is distinguished by biodiversity, varied topography and panoramic views. We exceed LIVE sustainability standards in the vineyard and its surrounding Certified Family Forest. In addition to growing select grapes for our estate wines, we provide fruit to six outstanding winemakers for their Fairsing Vineyard–designated wines.
