It’s hard to express the beauty of the Eola-Amity Hills in words. So we make wine. ------------------------------------------The Willamette Valley is not only beautiful, it is one of the few places on earth where Pinot noir can perfectly ripen and produce wines of exquisite quality. This demanding grape requires a precise balance of warm days, cools nights, exposure, and soil to achieve greatness. It also requires careful nurturing in the vineyards and a careful handling during its transformation into wine. Each of the AVAs of the Willamette Valley has its own personality. Each macro-climate creates a specific expression, on the grapes and in the wines. We invite you to the Eola-Amity Hills AVA to explore how our unique conditions affect our grapes and our wines. You can walk the vineyards, look into the soil, meet the grape growers who spend months nurturing this finicky plant and spend time with award-winning winemakers to learn how they meet the challenge of site and vintage. The Eola-Amity Hills is distinctly different than the other AVAs. The balance of warm days and rapid cooling at night from the ocean winds that blow in through the Van Duzer Corridor create a different balance in our fruit. Our soils are also different, usually thinner with both sedimentary and volcanic sites. This results in a different balance in the Eola-Amity Hills wines: a bit more acidity, a bit more structure, and sometimes a bit more dark and edgy personality. In short, it means Pinot noir that we are very proud to produce. Thank you for the opportunity to share our story and our wines. GUIDE TO THE EOLA-AMITY HILLS • 1
A HISTORY
Janis Checchia and Myron Redford in the Vineyard, 1974
1800s Early pioneers named a village Eola in tribute to the powerful, predictable marine winds that blew through the Van Duzer Corridor. Eola is derived from Aeolus, a Greek deity in charge of the winds. 1933 Almost at the moment Prohibition was repealed, the Honeywood Winery began operating in Salem in late 1933. It has been operating continuously ever since. 1960s Vitis Vinifera revolution began in Oregon. Richard Sommer planted Hillcrest Vineyards in the Umpqua Valley in 1961. The Willamette Valley began to take off in 1965 when David and Diana Lett planted the Eyrie Vineyards, and Charles and Shirley Coury established Coury Vineyards. 1971 Vinifera grapes made their way to the Eola-Amity Hills in 1971, when Jerry and Anne Preston planted Amity Vineyards. A year later, Bill Cattrall began planting Cattrall Vineyard. In 1973, Don and Carolyn Byard planted Eola Hills Vineyard, and Jim and Connie Feltz established Feltz Vineyard. GUIDE TO THE EOLA-AMITY HILLS • 2
1976 The first winery in the region was bonded in 1976 by Myron Redford and Janis Checchia who purchased Amity Vineyards in 1974. Bethel Heights began in 1977, followed by Stangeland in 1978 and Hidden Springs in 1980. Vic Winquist and Ron Seely had the foresight to develop Seven Springs, Temperance Hill, and Witness Tree vineyards, and plantings were begun at what are now Canary Hill, Elton Vineyards, Orchard Heights and Zenith Vineyard. 1984 The Willamette Valley was defined by the government as an American Viticultural Area (AVA). By this time 273 acres were under vine in the Eola-Amity Hills with four wineries in operation. 1985 A group of wineries and vineyards, led by Tom Dumm, founder of Glen Creek Winery, now known as Orchard Heights Winery, set out to define their region. They formed the Eola Hills Winegrowing Region. 2006 Six additional regions within the Willamette Valley received federal approval as new AVAs in 2005 and 2006, including the Eola-Amity Hills AVA in 2006. These were determined by unique soil and climate attributes. PRESENT Today, the Eola-Amity Hills provides ultra-premium grapes for Pinot noir sold by scores of wineries throughout the Willamette Valley and beyond. Within the appellation, over 2,850 acres are planted and 30 commercial wineries are now producing wine.

SOIL Thin volcanic clay soils from ancient lava flows are the most common soil type in these hills. But it’s not unusual to find outcroppings of other soil types here and there, created by eons of violent geological activity. Ancient marine sediments from the bottom of the ocean, and young flood sediments from the last Ice Age can be found intermittently throughout the appellation. The predominant volcanic soils of the Eola-Amity Hills are generally shallower and rockier than those of other Willamette Valley AVAs, with significant effects on vine and fruit development and balance. These thin soils also drain quickly after rain, allowing fruit to hang on the vines long into the fall for maximum flavor development. Marine sediments were laid down on the floor of the Pacific Ocean Examples: Willakenzie, Bellpine, Chuhulpim, Hazelair, Melbourne, Dupee Volcanic Basalts originated as lava flows from eastern Oregon Examples • Jory, Nekia, Ritner, Saum, Witzel, Yamhill Ice Age Loess is silt blown up from the valley floor onto northeast-facing hillsides Example • Laurelwood Missoula Flood deposits brought down the Columbia Gorge as the result of a repeatedly melting glacial dam Examples • Wapato, Woodburn, Willamette, Concord, Helvetia, Helmick, Dayton

CLIMATE The Climate of the Eola-Amity Hills is defined by the Van Duzer Corridor, a break in the Coast Range that allows cool ocean winds to flow, dropping temperatures dramatically, especially during late summer afternoons. These late afternoon and evening breezes help provide the cool nights that keep acids firm and are essential for optimal ripening. Because of the dominating effect of these marine winds on our climate, the Eola-Amity Hills generally experience cooler average temperatures during the growing season than other parts of the Willamette Valley.

Mark Vlossak carefully racking wine in the cellar of St. Innocent Winery
WINERIES & TASTING ROOMS Quietly, rocking your view of Pinot Noir. But when you’ve decided to make Pinot noir, you may think you have an inkling of the difficulties it will present. But when you’ve decided to make pinot noir, with its hundreds of clones and fickle sensibilities, you had better be passionate about your pursuit. It helps to be working with grapes from the Willamette Valley. And if you’re truly fortunate, you might be working with grapes from the Eola-Amity Hills. Here, the ocean winds blow in through the Van Duzer Corridor and cause even the locals to keep their Pendleton blankets out well into July. That cold air makes the vines work harder and amplifies pinot’s already lush and aromatic qualities. But rest assured, it’s a battle. Do you wait longer for more ripening and flavor and risk autumn rains taking half of your crop, or do you pick early and count on a miracle in the barrels? People who make wines here are as tough and stubborn as the vines themselves. They work hard. They take calculated risks. They suffer for their art. And they make wines that have rocked the world, quietly. Because unless you’re a critic, you want to keep something this good a secret as long as you can.

Regular Hours/Fees: Tuesday - Sunday 11am to 5pm with a $5 tasting fee, refundable with purchase. -----------------------------------------------Witness Tree is a small producer of premium quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Viognier made entirely from grapes grown on our 100-acre estate nestled in the Eola Hills of Oregon. As winegrowers, we believe that only by tending our own vines can we produce the finest wines. Low yields in the vineyard and minimal handling in the winery allow us to create wines of depth, elegance, concentration, and character; they are the ultimate expression of the earth from which they were born.

Vineyard Manager Dai Crisp checks the crop health in the organically farmed Temperance Hill Vineyard.
VINEYARDS With muddy boots on our feet and world-class pinot in our hands... The grapes grown in the Eola-Amity Hills region aren’t just made into wine here; they are coveted and bought by award - winning winemakers all over the Northwest. It’s not just the soil. It’s not even entirely about the expert growers. It’s about the cool nights in the region, thanks to the ocean winds that blow in through the Van Duzer Corridor forcing the grapes to work harder. That means more concentration, more acidity, more balance —in short, it means pinot noir that’s awfully hard to beat.
