Ayres Vineyard Piper Pinot noir 07
winery: Ayres Vineyard
Fantastic, fresh aromas of forest and raspberries on the vine. The Piper keeps building, picking up darker notes of creamy blackberry and nutty blueberry. Lavender and anise round out flavors and elongate the finish. Silky and elegant, the Piper is ying to the Pioneer's yang. - Marcus
Ayres Vineyard Piper Pinot noir 07 is an equal blend of 667, 777, and 115, Piper is the ultimate expression of each of our producing clones. You will discover fruit flavors of blueberry, boysenberry, highlighted by cinnamon, all-spice, caramel, and crème brulee. Only six barrels were worthy to be called Piper. - the winery

The Vineyard
AYRES Vineyard & Winery was purchased in September 2000 by business partners and family members, Brad McLeroy & Kathleen McClure-McLeroy and Don & Carol McClure. The existing filbert orchard was cleared that November and the first 3 acres of vines (Pinot Noir clone 667) were planted in March 2001. Currently the vineyard is planted to 6 acres of Pinot Noir clone 667, 3 acres of Pinot Noir clone 115, 4 acres of Pinot Noir clone 777, 1 acre of Pinot Noir clone 113, and 4 acres of Pommard. The vineyard is also host to an experimental plot of white grape varietals, including Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and the little known Pinot d’Auxerrois.
