2024 Walter Scott, Eola-Amity Hills, Pinot Noir, Cuvee Ruth

Walter Scott Wines, under the meticulous direction of Ken Pahlow and Erica Landon, approaches viticulture with a philosophy grounded in organic, biodynamic, and regenerative vineyard stewardship, collaborating closely with growers to allow each site to speak distinctly. This Cuvée Ruth Pinot Noir emerges from the Eola-Amity Hills, an appellation characterized by its ancient volcanic basalt and marine sedimentary soils, profoundly influenced by the moderating Pacific winds funneled through the Van Duzer Corridor that promote firm acidity and concentrated fruit. The 2024 growing season saw balanced warmth, ample dry conditions, and extended hang time, fostering optimal physiological ripeness across the region. This confluence yielded a Pinot Noir with characteristic Eola-Amity Hills firm structure, precise acidity, and integrated tannins, deeply reflecting the intensity and precision of its origin.
