Winter's Hill Estate
Winter's Hill Estate produces Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from Oregon's Willamette Valley, a region defined by cool-climate viticulture and the precise expression of these two varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir—both a Willamette bottling and a Single Block Series Block 10—alongside a Reserve Pinot Gris. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated the estate's releases, with the Single Block Series Block 10 Pinot Noir reaching 91 points and the Reserve Pinot Gris earning 90.4 points. The Willamette Pinot Noir scored 90.7 points. These results reflect the winery's focus on the classic Oregon expression: Pinot Noir with structure and nuance, and Pinot Gris with the mineral precision the valley's terroir affords.
