The 2008 Pinot Noir is bright ruby in color with fruity aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and blueberry, as well as subtle hints of cocoa, vanilla, anise and flowers. On the palate it is bright and fruity, with loads of red fruit and spice flavors.

The Edgefield Winery is located at the mouth of Columbia River Gorge at historic McMenamins Edgefield, site of the former Multnomah County Poor Farm (ca. 1911).

The 2007 vintage started warm in the spring months propelling the vines early on in February and March, but then a cold spell hit in April slowing things down dramatically. A good set year, unlike 2004 and 2005, the season continued with slow development, for the Willamette Valley. September rang in with rain and didn’t stop for harvest, leaving Pinot Noir with low sugar levels and ample acidity. Our 07 is a lower alcohol, lighter body, and higher acidity wine than in years past.
