WINERY

OUR WINES

​

Our wines are small-lot and handcrafted, and always will be, with a commitment to make distinctive wines from exceptional fruit using a combination of traditional and modern winemaking techniques with a focus on detail.  As our vineyard has matured, we are now making the majority of our wines from estate fruit, along with fruit purchased from select vineyards in the Willamette Valley and other Pacific Northwest regions.  Our Pinot noirs and Chardonnays have received an array of awards and excellent scores in wine judgings and festivals.  We also produce Pinot gris, Rosé, Syrah, a Syrah/Pinot Red Blend, and dessert wines.   

WINE MAKING

​

Our reds are typically fermented in small lots with daily manual punch downs and pump overs to remix the fermentation and wet the dried cap. When fermentation is nearly over, we collect free run wine and press very lightly to collect the best wine possible for Pinot noir. After pressing and a brief settling period, wine goes into barrel for malolactic fermentation and aging.  All of our Pinot is barrel aged with weekly stirring for 6 months to improve mouth feel. Most unusually, our Pinots are barrel aged for a full two years in barrel prior to bottling to enhance mouth feel and roundness in the wine.  Reserve wines are unfiltered and unfined. 

Our white wines and rosé are fermented at the coolest temperature possible to preserve fruit flavors and freshness, avoiding the ‘cooked’ flavors from out of control fermentations.  Pinot gris and rosé is bottled the spring following harvest, Chardonnay is aged for one year before bottling and is typically a 50/50 mix of barrel aged and tank aged wine.  Reserve Chardonnay ages in barrel for two years.
