The vineyard is planted in deep volcanic Jory soils on east slopes that benefit from gentle morning sun in the Eola Hills. The wine is named in honor of Elton and Peggy Ingram, who reestablished the homestead farm in the 1950s, and was made exclusively as an on-premise offering. The vineyard is planted with 667, 777, 943 and Pommard Pinot Noir clones.
On the Nose: Bright ruby red in color with enticing aromas of cranberry, red licorice and thyme on the nose.
On the Palate: The palate offers fresh flavors of red cherry, marionberry, black tea and dried herbs. Fresh acidity, young tannins and a lingering warm finish provide a pleasant flavor intensity.
Food pairings: Enjoy with spicy and smoky dishes like duck salad with watercress, mango and avocado, or grilled cedar plank salmon.

About Willamette Valley Vineyards:
Founded in 1983 by Oregon native Jim Bernau with the dream of creating world-class Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley Vineyards has grown from a bold idea into one of the region’s leading wineries, earning the title “One of America’s Great Pinot Noir Producers” from Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Our approach is to grow, by hand, the highest quality fruit using careful canopy management and create wines that are truly expressive of the varietal and the place where they are grown. Stewardship of the land is fundamental to our winemaking and all of the vineyards have been certified sustainable through LIVE and Salmon-Safe programs since 1997.
