2014 Atticus

Pinot Noir

A home estate owned by Ximena Orrego and Guy Insley, Atticus vineyard is a carefully tended site just outside of the town of Yamhill, Oregon. Raptor Ridge has been working with Atticus since 2006, first as a custom crush client for their own Atticus brand, and then infused in our own blends since 2010. Characterized by big red and black cherry fruit with tremendous length, these Pinot Noir clones of 667, 777 and Pommard are planted in Willakenzie soils at an elevation of 350 feet in the Yamhill–Carlton AVA.
