Martin Woods Winery 2022 "Hyland Vineyard" Pinot Noir

$ 5999

Winemaker Notes

Hyland vineyard is one of the Willamette Valley's historic vineyards, originally planted in the early 1970s with clonal selections of Riesling and Pinot noir that were suit-cased back from Alsace. These vines are now referred to as "Coury" selections‒named for Charles Coury who did the massale selection.
Hyland is advantageously situated both in the foothills of the Coast Range mountains and within the van duzer gap, the "air-conditioning" pathway through the Coast Range where marine air enters from the west and cools the Willamette Valley. Persistent wind spills over this neighborhood, moderating temperatures and allowing for patient ripening and retention of fresh acidity. I find there is always a distinct textural elegance, freshness and length to this wine, coupled with wonderfully lifted and complex aromatics, that delights me year after year.

Critical Acclaim


96pts Decanter

This Pinot Noir offers complexity without power. It's a playful dance of aromas, including blueberries, macerated plums, and a sprinkle of mulling spices, smoked cinnamon and an orange peel twist, all wrapped up with rose petal flourishes. Off the bat, it shows the silken texture that's possible with the own-rooted Pinot Noirs in the Willamette Valley. The palate offers a mix of blue fruits, spicy red berries, and mouthfuls of smoky violet tones. It's a captivating wine at such a young age. On the palate, it’s a savoury delight.
