Archery Summit has been a standard-bearer for Oregon Pinot since 1993, producing wines that marry site-driven nuance with polished, modern winemaking. The estate spans five distinct vineyards, each with its own soils, clones, and microclimate. Their style is all about precision: gentle handling in the cellar, subtle use of oak, and a refusal to flatten complexity for the sake of consistency.
2021 was a vintage to remember. A hot, dry summer gave way to cooler September nights, keeping acidity fresh while concentrating character. Fruit was hand-picked and fermented in a mix of stainless steel, concrete, and wood — with just 15% whole cluster to lift the aromatics — then aged gently in 12% new oak.
The result is a deep dive into what makes Dundee Hills so special: layered, expressive Pinot with notes of brambleberry, Rainier cherry, and blackberry blossom, backed by cocoa, spice, and a minerally, juicy finish. Lifted. Precise. Quietly structured.
