NEW RELEASE

We are thrilled to release the newest wine in honor of our mothers, our first Sparkling Brut, Juhlia. Dedicated to Justina's mother's heritage, Juhlia means celebrate in Finnish, and is named for the good time it provides. Our 2023 Juhlia Brut is a sparkling Gamay from the Eola-Amity Hills. This wine is ethereal, effervescent, and a celebration in a glass. Kippis (cheers)!

FU-MEI IS FINALLY AVAILALBE TO ALL!

Fu-Mei, named after original owner Dave Chen's mother, means rich and beautiful in Chinese. This wine, true to its name, is ever a charmer, filled with surprises, wonder, and complexity that delights the palate at every level. Lively, juicy, and round in just the right places on the palate, it takes up the perfect amount of space as it dances through the room. Notes of dragon fruit, pineapple, and papaya are given a lift from a spicy, almost peppery counter note. Tannin is quiet but present throughout, making this a delightful experience as it goes from chilled to room temperature.

This single vineyard Chardonnay comes from the Wanamaker Estate Vineyard in the Columbia Gorge. It is barrel fermented and aged sur lie showcasing the spectacular terroir of this unique site. The nose is bouncy and tropical, with papaya and pineapple, but also fresh and vibrant with citrus. Crisp, mouthwatering and mouth softening at the same time, and a dazzling palette of flavors and textures. Think about a Premier Cru Chablis (Dare I? I do): mineral, citrus, and broad-shouldered. This is refreshing yet dizzyingly complex.

As always, this wine speaks to both our love for rustic but polished Pinot Noir as well as our commitment to working with growers who farm sustainable. Each year, this wine tells the story of the vintage while highlighting the unique growing conditions across the Willamette Valley. Responsible farming, native yeast ferments and the gentle handling of hand-picked fruit, enables us to produce wines with a sense of place, while protecting the land for today and generation to come. Always Unfined and Unfiltered.

NEW RELEASE!

From our namesake vineyard, our 2022 West Block brings us right back to the good old days. It comes from the most western block at Patton Valley Vineyard and is defined by its exposure to the afternoon sun and warmer temperatures. This special wine illustrates the impact of aspect on Pinot Noir, resulting in wines with structure, depth and power.

NEW RELEASE!

This unique wine comes from the stunning Wannamaker Vineyard located on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge AVA. It is 91% Pinot Noir and 9% Syrah. How did this come about you may ask? As Derek was topping barrels in 2022, he ended up topping a few with the left-over Syrah, these barrels were originally intended to go into a large blend. That was until he tried them and, much to his surprise, they were his favorite out of the bunch! Well, you can't simply blend away your favorites, so here we are producing a unique blend of Pinot Noir and Syrah. Think all the lovely nuances of Pinot Noir with the weight, heavier fruit profile and hints of tobacco of a Syrah. Seriously, you have to try it!

Sweet & Sassy, Lively & Unforgettable

I'm a charming blend of sweet and spicy flavors, with a vibrant and lively character. My feminine energy adds a touch of elegance to everything I do, leaving a lingering impression on those I meet. Join me on this journey of embracing the beauty of contrasts and savoring life's little moments.

Possibly our most aromatic 10 Acre ever, the nose is explosive with bright red fruit, rose petal, bing cherry, strawberry, and dusty currant throughout. It is a wild, yet restrained nose that has complexity, vibrancy, and nuance. The palate is soft but persistent. Tannin pushes and pulls from front to back and both sides, but pleasantly so, providing a supportive and elegant structure that doesn’t overwhelm. Red cherry, violet, and young blackberries skitter about, and a wash of creme brûlée splashes on the finish. This wine is a real stunner. Slow developing, despite the impressive aromatics on the open, it has extended charms that suggest this will be a long-player, and can be enjoyed for the next 2-8 years.

Over the beautiful summer of 2018 we hatched a plan with Jesse Lange (Lange Estate Winery), to trade a couple of tons of Pinot Noir.  He got a few tons of 777 from West Block and we, thankfully, got 3 tons of Pommard from the beautiful Lange Estate Vineyard in the Dundee Hills.  We love this bottle for its lush red fruited nose and its broad and silky palate, we are sure you will too!
