In Short
Eyrie Vineyards has consistently made some of the best Oregon wines for more than a quarter of a century. They had the first commercial plantings in Yamhill County, they were the first producers of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and the first to produce Pinot Gris in America. All of Eyrie's grapes are grown organically at four different sites in the Dundee Hills. Lett continues to make some of the best Pinot Gris in the country.
