Vireton | Archery Summit

The Vireton walks boldly into the Willamette Valley and returns with the unexpected, a kind of down-to-earth, everyday level of luxury. Not tethered to any one vineyard site, this outgoing wine instead reflects the merits of an entire region. It’s a testament to the power of multiple voices within one storied region and the strength in numbers that follows. In wine, just as in life, it’s the most intrepid who end up the most fulfilling experiences. The Vireton celebrates as much, whether you’re toasting another Tuesday or celebrating something much bigger.

Vireton is named for a style of crossbow arrow with feathers placed at an angle to make it spin in flight, improving its accuracy. Vireton wines express our unwavering commitment to exploration and excellence. As in archery, making great Pinot Noir requires finesse, attention to detail and finely tuned instincts.

2022 Vireton Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes:

The bouquet is layered, with a fruity core of raspberry, cranberry, and red currants surrounded by oak and earthen spice. Silky tannins and fresh fruit jam nudge the palate, giving way to hints of warm baking spices. A model Willamette Valley wine, the Vireton Pinot Noir is juicy, fruit-forward, kissed with slight new oak nuances while wonderfully balanced. Enjoy now through the next 5-10 years.

This wine bursts from the glass, with zesty grapefruit followed by fresh and floral aromatics. The juicy acidity plays a major role, bringing balance to the wine and perfectly offsetting the salinity. Combining ripe orchard fruit and a touch of sea breeze, the 2023 Vireton Pinot Gris is crisp, lively, and tremendously refreshing.
