Located just to the southeast of Yamhill-Carlton, the Dundee Hills offer an ideal microclimate for the cultivation of Pinot Noir. Home to a slew of wineries that helped put Oregon firmly on the map as a great Pinot-producing region of the world, the area is relatively dry and offers a near-perfect balance of warm days and cool nights. In addition to this fabulous weather, the area boasts textbook-perfect soils and superb drainage on the rolling hills, yielding sublimely mineral, rich, and round expressions of Pinot Noir.
