Our philosophy begins with pre & post-sorting, whole cluster and native fermentations, and 100% French oak aging. Our wines are created in harmony through minimal intervention, revealing a cleanliness and purity of intention. We strive to show the quality of the Willamette Valley and such typicity year over year. These are classical wines of complexity, grace - each layered, with one desire — to reflect the soul, vintage & unique place.

This fruit forward Pinot Noir is a more vivacious and round "sister" to our Family Estate, boasting more of a new world approach with later picks. This wine has 40-50% New French Oak, silky tannins, and is approachable from a young age.

This beastly cab is sourced from Red Mountain's Quintessence Vineyard. It is cab dominant, blended with cab franc to showcase the two working together. Hints of sage and chocolate blend beautifully with the big tannins of this wine.

La Contrada - translating to "the district" exemplifies the incredible terroir of Red Mountain. The marriage of cab and merlot work cohesively to produce a softer, palette with notes of dark cherries, currants and pomegranate combined with herbal notes of anise, black licorice and dusty earth

Let the varietal shine in Oregon soils and climate. Modeled after classic Chablis style Chardonnay – this wine is complex yet, uniquely Oregon.

A blend of 80% Pinot noir and 20% Chardonnay. Post primary fermentation, weekly bâtonnage while aging in once-fill barrels. After spending 4 years on the lees following tirage, the result is a full-bodied style with desired off-dry, layered finish. Very fine bubbles give way to a very distinctive and nuanced nose of brioche, white cherry fruit, lemon verbena, with grapefruit and nutty aromas. Handsomely elegant, blending richness and complexity with bright texture and vibrant acidity.
