Here's a chance to taste what Pinot Noir from Cameron's oldest vineyard does with a decade in bottle, and Abbey Ridge is a site built for exactly that. The vineyard sits high in the Red Hills of Dundee at 500 to 700 feet. Julia Wayne and her husband Bill first planted it in the mid-1970s, and it's usually picked late (mid-October for Pinot Noir), which gives the wines the natural acidity that carries them through years of cellaring. None of it is irrigated. Cameron is a founding member of the Deep Roots Coalition, which argues that irrigation gets in the way of terroir, so those old roots reach down to deep moisture through dry late summers instead. Cameron called 2014 a big, beautiful vintage. A bit of trivia: one block is called Arley's Leap, after Bill and Julia's dog, who once jumped from a second-story balcony in Victoria when a cat startled it.

More about

When wine insiders are discussing the great winemakers of Oregon, John Paul Cameron comes up in hushed and reverent tones. He, along with his Cameron Winery are living legends, yet few, besides the geekiest of Pinot-philes, have heard of him outside of Oregon. This is in no doubt due to his limited production, about 4000 cases annually, most of it consumed in Portland.

Established in 1984, Cameron is committed to producing wines that express terroir that is truly Oregonian. As a founding member of the Deep Roots Coalition, an organization that believes irrigation stands in the way of terroir, their vines are not irrigated; instead they're allowed to dig deep into the soils to find water in some of the best sites in the Willamette Valley.

This commitment to biodiversity is reflected in winemaker John Paul’s vineyards: multiple clones of the same grape are planted in each plot, and throughout the vineyard you’ll find bees pollinating the cover crops that grow between the vines. That vital force is directly reflected in the wines.

Contributing further to their commitment to sustainable farming, the vineyards are also home to cats, goats, and geese, all of whom play an important role, from eating rogue berries that may compete with resources to chasing away vermin, allowing the team at Cameron to eschew the use of certain sprays.

John Paul’s fanatical commitment to organic farming and hands-off winemaking ensures that he’s among the standard bearers for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, not just in the Willamette Valley, but also for the rest of the United States.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast duck breast with a cherry sauce, coq au vin, mushroom risotto, roast quail with wild rice, or seared salmon over French lentils.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Dundee Hills Pinot Noir profile: red cherry, raspberry and cranberry with earthy, forest-floor and gentle spice notes. It's typically light in body, with bright acidity from the late picking and fine, silky tannins, finishing dry, savoury and long. Think red Burgundy more than a plush, ripe Californian Pinot.
