Ore. wine pioneer David Lett dies at 69

Pioneering Oregon winemaker David Lett, widely considered the father of Oregon's thriving pinot noir industry and a major force in winning worldwide respect for this state's wines, has died. He was 69.

Lett died of heart failure Thursday at his home in Dundee, said his son, Jason Lett.

Lett was the first to plant the pinot noir grape in Oregon's Willamette Valley, more than four decades ago. His was also the first to plant pinot gris in the United States, his family said.

Since then, Oregon's pinot noir industry has boomed, earning a reputation for quality worldwide.
