The Character

Tasting Notes The complementary nature of the two growing sites is obvious -- super juicy, ripe, rich red fruit flavors balanced by a crisp, linear acid structure. Crush this one on its own or pair it with your favorite spring/summer fare.
Awards 90pts James Suckling

The Story

The 2024 Violet Hill hails from two distinct growing regions in the Willamette Valley. Most of the fruit (80%) is from three contiguous vineyards in the foothills of the Santium Pass, planted to various clones on primarily volcanic soils (Ancient Jory). This area is the gateway to the Cascade Mountain Range, where the south-facing, high-elevation vines (1000ft) can struggle to ripen. In warm vintages like 2024, the natural acidity and resulting structure are stunning. The other component of the blend is fruit from the Roe & Roe vineyard in Ribbon Ridge AVA, which is the polar opposite regarding ripeness and total degree days, yielding opulent, juicy grapes.

About Violet

Producer Story

Violet Hill's mission is to bring terroir-driven and complex wines at everyday prices with a focus on cool-climate varietals (like Pinot Noir) from single-appellation sourcing on the West Coast. An outstanding opportunity to source grapes from the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon led to our newest project, Violet Hill. Unfortunately, the strict AVA regulations in Willamette Valley meant we could not use this as a blending component for the Averaen blend, but the fruit was too good to pass up. A similar opportunity arose in Santa Barbara County just months later - the wine was outside the Sonoma County AVA specs for Valravn and a bit too pricey for Pavette. Hence, a new project - Violet Hill.
