Old-school Oregon Pinot from one of the originals — red cherry, cola bark, and forest floor, with driving acidity and no makeup on. Native yeasts, barely any new oak, unfined and unfiltered. A cult bottle that has never acted like one.

WHO
Matt Kinne founded McKinlay in 1987 and has focused on Pinot Noir alone since 1995. He trained under Bob Sessions at Hanzell in Sonoma before coming home to Oregon, and named the winery for his great-grandfather, the Reverend George Angus McKinlay, who dry-farmed cherries and nuts in the Willamette in the early 1900s. Low yields, a light hand, and a fiercely loyal following.
