The Wine

Carlton Ridge is a barrel-select, clonal blend of exceptional Pinot noir from three distinct blocks of Tidalstar Vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton. It is a distinct and vibrant expression of this land and the dynamic interplay between the forces that shape it.

The 2019 Carlton Ridge Pinot Noir has a very pretty nose with lots of dark plum, black cherry, vanilla, cardamom and a hint of bacon fat, with a dense, layered palate, sweet cherry and raspberry and expansive tannins. This is a beautifully crafted wine, with lots of potential for further development over the next decade or more.

The Winery

Landlines Estates crafts small, distinct lots of Pinot noir and Chardonnay. We source fruit exclusively from Tidalstar Vineyard, a distinguished 30-acre organically and biodynamically farmed vineyard in Oregon’s Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Its rich, red-tinged, marine sedimentary soil was formed by tectonic plates crashing together, turning ancient seabeds into a fertile ridge of ocean formed soils cobbled with dense volcanic marine basalt. The wines we make reflect a deep respect for this land and an intimate understanding of the forces that shape it.
