Letter From Our
VP of Winemaking & Viticulture
This season’s allocation invites you to explore the range of expressions our vineyards offer. Abbey Oaks Vineyard, the source of our only Pinot Noir from the Yamhill-Carlton sub-AVA, gives us a wine with a firm backbone and quiet power, one that will reward patience in the cellar. ‘Grand Cheval’,
our Oregon red wine, reflects the broader landscape of our state, bringing together fruit from eastern Oregon with our Willamette Valley sites to create a wine of generous depth and character.
As winter settles into the Willamette Valley, my hope is that these bottle bring warmth to your table and offer a quiet moment to reflect on the seasons that shaped them. Each represents a piece of the landscape we care for year after year.
