Hope Well 2019 Pinot Noir: A Symphony of Organic Elegance from Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills

Crafted by visionary winemaker Mimi Casteel, this 2019 Pinot Noir from Hope Well Wine embodies the essence of organic viticulture and minimalist winemaking. Nestled in Oregon’s renowned Willamette Valley, the vineyards thrive in a unique east-facing bowl, sheltered from harsh winds yet cooled by nightly diurnal shifts—a perfect balance for cultivating the Pommard clone of Pinot Noir, celebrated for its depth and complexity.

Mimi’s philosophy centers on biodiversity and natural expression. The grapes ferment spontaneously with native yeasts, and 20% of the wine ages in new French oak, enhancing its silky texture without overpowering its pure fruit character. Expect layers of ripe red cherries, earthy mushrooms, and a subtle hint of smoky minerality, all framed by a vibrant acidity that lingers long after each sip.

What sets this wine apart? Its low-intervention approach—gentle extractions, no racking, and minimal sulfur use—preserves the true terroir of Eola-Amity Hills. Each vintage tells a story, reflecting not just the land but the season’s nuances, making every bottle a unique experience.

Perfect for those seeking artisanal, sustainably crafted wines, this Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or a quiet evening by the fire.
