New Wines for Spring

We’ve finished our annual Spring Prerelease offer to our mailing list, but now the spring wines are available to the general public. Here are the highlights:

2022 Pinot Blanc WV Tardive $35 – a special cuvee of our regular Pinot Blanc, just aged longer on the lees (18 months) for additional development. From a small parcel at the great Zenith Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Very limited.

2022 Chardonnay WV Tardive $35 – as with the Blanc Tardive, this wine aged 18 months in barrel on lees for textural and aromatic development. We like this Tardive or “later” bottling so much with Chardonnay, we don’t do the regular bottling anymore!

2023 Rose $25 – our first wine from the most recent vintage, this wine is mostly direct pressed Pinot Gris with some Pinot Noir and Gamay for color, clean and refreshing.

2022 Gamay $30 – traditional open top fermentation, like our Pinot Noirs, with lots of whole clusters in the vats. Juicy, bright with berry fruits and peppery spice, we think its benchmark Oregon Gamay but let us know what you think.

2022 Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills $35 – our cuvee of Pinot Noir barrels from our home appellation is back after a small crop in 2021. This wine comes from Zenith and Temperance Hill vineyards, with bright zesty raspberry fruit and Pinot spice.

2022 Tempranillo Upper Five Vineyard $40 – our first wine from the Rogue Valley in southern Oregon, biodynamically farmed for over 20 years, made in the traditional style to show warm dark fruits, tobacco leaf and fine tannic structure. Our first wine in a Bordeaux style bottle. Very limited.
