The result: growing-season temperatures that can swing 35°F or more in a single day, holding acidity and aromatics while the shallow volcanic Jory and Nekia basalt soils limit yields and concentrate flavor. Pinot Noir accounts for roughly 80% of what's planted here, and the AVA's cool, compressed growing season is why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsabelle Meunier grew up in Quebec, trained in Dijon, worked stages in New Zealand and Burgundy — including time at Domaine de la Vougeraie — before landing in the Willamette Valley as head winemaker at Evening Land. She and Greg Ralston co-founded Lavinea in 2014 to focus on single-vineyard terroir expression. This Eola-Amity Hills bottling draws from four of their vineyards, co-fermenting Pommard and 667 clones together, then 777 and 115 clones together, with native yeast, no inoculations, and indigenous malolactic fermentation. Aging in once- and twice-filled French oak keeps the wood honest. Wine Spectator awarded 93 points: \"brooding yet expressive, with raspberry and blueberry flavors highlighted by forest floor and dusky spices.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eDuck breast with cherry reduction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ethe wine's raspberry and forest floor notes bridge fruit and game\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eHerb-roasted lamb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eearthy tannin structure and bright acidity cut through the fat cleanly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eWild mushroom risotto\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ethe wine's forest floor depth mirrors the earthiness of the dish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Frederick Wildman \u0026 Sons Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44671091769503,"sku":"7517","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0232\/3203\/files\/IMG_2488.jpg?v=1700248644","url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/lavinea-wines-pinot-noir-eola-amity-hills-750ml","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
