Clos Electrique Clos Electrique is the heart of Cameron’s estate plantings. It consists of at least 15 different clones of Pinot noir on a mere 2 acres of land. The yields are always very small, averaging between 1 and 2 tons per acre. This wine is typically gnarly and intense, changing constantly in the glass. Clos Electrique has fooled many wine-lovers into declaring it to be an Old World wine.

Arley’s Leap  This block of grapes is located at the highest point within Abbey Ridge Vineyard. Named after Abbey Ridge owners Bill & Julia Wayne’s beloved dog, the block is composed of a handful of old red burgundy clones. Grapes from this 35 year old section are typically the very last Pinot noir to be harvested in the Dundee Hills.  The resulting wines therefore tend to have relatively high acidity and old world aromatics such as cigar box, tar and black cherry.
