Winery Overview
Since our founding in 2006, our priorities have been simple: care for the land, make exceptional wine, and enjoy life’s journey. We are committed to generating renewable energy and farming sustainably to promote ecological balance in the vineyard, surrounding creeks, and ultimately our wine.
Our passion for wine has grown out of an interest in many things. We love to grow and prepare quality food. We love to travel and meet new people. We love to work with our hands and be outside. We love to learn. Growing grapes and making wine embodies all these interests in a special way.
We craft honest, terroir-driven Pinot Noir, Gamay Noir, Rosé, Chardonnay and Auxerrois from fruit grown on our own vineyards. Coming May 2023 will be the inaugural release of our Gouais Blanc, the first to arrive in North America.
Estate Vineyard
Exceptional wine begins in the vineyard. That’s why our vineyard is certified Salmon-Safe and sustainable by L.I.V.E. (Low Input Viticulture and Enology). We believe that sustainable farming makes better wine. Oregon “vineyard lore” suggests that abundant poison oak indicates a great site. Happily for us (except when Mark used a chain saw to remove some massive plants), we’re covered under both schools of thought.
