CARLTON HILL VINEYARD
YAMHILL-CARLTON AVA
WILLAMETTE VALLEY, OREGON
Wine Club Exclusive
Carlton Hill is located on the western side of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. A croquet enthusiast, grower David Polite planted the vineyard’s first vines in 1999. This east-facing vineyard is comprised of four clones of Pinot Noir. Amaterra sources each of the clones, which are individually fermented and aged, allowing our winemaking team to craft a cuvée that expresses the best of each vintage.
