The Eola-Amity Hills AVA lies about 15 miles southwest of the winery, where a notch through the Coast Range allows cool ocean winds to flow in from the West, dropping temperatures dramatically during late summer afternoons. This helps to retain firm acidity in the fruit. The 2017 Lumière is a blend of selected barrels from two vineyards: Bieze, in the heart of the Eola Hills, and En Gedi, which is in the northern Walnut Hill area of the appellation.

James Suckling Reviews
96 points This is a barrel selection of Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir and has a very convincing sense ofrichness andconcentration. Ripe red-plum and red to dark-cherry Pinot Noir aromas, as well asforest wood and spice. The palate has impressive concentration and depth with long tannins,soaked in fresh red-cherry flavor and delivering a striking finish. Drink or hold.
