2021 Holloran Pinot Noir ANA

ANA vineyard is in the Dundee Hills AVA within the Willamette Valley. Our winery sits at the south end of the ANA vineyard. ANA is a 20 acre site, planted starting in 1974, with 15 acres under vine. We dry farm this site, forcing the roots down many meters. Our farming is organic and biodynamic.

This wine is a blend of three different PN blocks within ANA: 50% from a south facing own-rooted Pommard block planted in 1974-75; 21% from the “Tiki” block (adjacent to the Tiki hut visible as you enter the property), which has an assortment of PN clones and selections; and 29% from a west facing block of Dijon 777, planted in the early 1980’s. The 777 block sets on a steep west facing slope, with strong afternoon sun exposure.

The three blocks produce Pinot Noirs that are quite different, and this blend represents a selection chosen by our winemaker Mark LaGasse to highlight ANA PN’s many characteristics.
