Lenné For Lunch

My friend and fellow wino, Dylan Boyd, suggested a visit to Lenné recently. I figured, Boyd knows a thing or two about this, and sure enough he does.

We net the proprietor, Steve Lutz, at the gate just before noon on Friday. He opened up and we climbed his steep hill to taste the estate pinot noir.

One thing we learned from Lutz is his sedimentary soil (which is not volcanic, like the soil in the Dundee Hills area of Yamhill County) is hard to grow things in, but that's what vines want, difficult soil.
