Jason Lett

Since 2005, Jason Lett has held the combined work of winemaker and president at The Eyrie Vineyards in McMinnville. The role sits inside a family winery, and his approach is defined by Pinot Noir, natural yeast fermentations, and a tannic frame that runs firmer than his father preferred.

At The Eyrie Vineyards in McMinnville, Oregon, Lett has made the wines since 2005 while also serving as president. The job keeps the focus on cellar decisions and on the estate’s line through Pinot Noir. The specialty is Pinot Noir.

Jason's signature wines include Eyrie Vineyard Pinot Noir Oregon South Block 1975.

The central recognition in Lett’s career is the responsibility of leading the family winery after research work in New Mexico and Oregon. In practice, that has meant keeping Pinot Noir at the center while working with natural yeast fermentations in the cellar.
