2022 White Pinot Noir

A red grape processed like a white grape.
Started doing this back in 2011 with one barrel, as an experiment. All native primary and secondary fermentation in a stainless steel barrel. Only difference now is that I have TWO stainless steel barrels! Nose of pear and ruby red grapefruit. Imbibe and a lush texture coats the mouth showing flavors of ripe Mirabelle plums, freshly sliced pineapple and Pinot noir of all things! A fun wine to share with those who might not like "white wine" since it should really be red... $50 per bottle

2022 Rose Pinot Noir

Lovely and lively.
A serious rosé, if there is such a thing. Drink this first and order more as I believe I only have eight cases left as of today because I have been drinking a bottle per week since being bottled. Lovely aromas of fresh pear and honeysuckle. Entry shows oyster nectar and lemon. Wait a moment and raspberries over river stones. Weird yet wonderful. Fun stuff! All native fermentation in neutral French oak barrels. $40 per bottle

2022 Direct From barrel - 943 Pinot Noir

One single clone, named “943” from a once used barrel. Seems like straightforward logic but not such a simple wine! This Pinot noir cutting is allegedly from the Cote d’Or in Burgundy. The clusters are long and gangly, and the berries are small, unlike the tight, tiny, fist-sized cluster of most Pinot noir cuttings. This results in intense color and big, almost massive flavors. A big bomber of a Pinot to say the least. No shrinking violet here!

2022 Direct From Barrel - Dirty to Barrel Pinot Noir

This is a winemaking technique where the wine is placed into the barrel while it is still undergoing primary fermentation. This results in a smoother, or plush mouthfeel, as if you fermented in a wooded fermenter, which you did, partially. Additional work is keeping that barrel topped up religiously on a tighter schedule than usual to mitigate bacterial risk. Not only does using this technique offer up a more luxurious mouthfeel as well as seemingly more fruit. You taste it and then let me know your thoughts.

2022 Direct From Barrel - Lonely Shallow Bin Pinot Noir

This was a single fermentation which took place in a hidden picking bin as we ran out of fermentation vessels in 2022 because all the grapes seemed to come in at the same time, so we used a picking bin to hold the overflow. This bin was only about two feet in depth with sides approaching four feet. Problem was that this bin was buried outside behind the taller vessels and was overlooked. It might have received one punch down every few days, ergo minimal extraction due to mechanical means, but plenty of extraction due to enzymatic means. A fruit bomb of a wine, but you tell me.

2022 Direct From Barrel - Not for Sale Pinot Noir

A perfect barrel found by Nicole Simoni during topping. Also known as Nicole’s Fine Selection. This happens now and then: you remove the bung to check the level when an intoxicating aroma slowly emerges. This gets your attention, so before you top off the barrel you pull a sample to take home to try with dinner. If it works with a meal and evokes positive comments from those “not in the know” then it is, by definition, a winner!

2021 Cuvée E Chardonnay

Comprised from all the barrels. Aromatics are purely orchard fruit trees in the spring. Big Abete Fetel pear aromatics, texture and flavor, with that spicy and salty thing going, like a really good blue cheese with a fragrant hint of wild flowers. The "everyday" wine you should have cases of in your cellar.

2021 Maverick Vineyard Chardonnay

All raised within the normal 228 liter barrels of which approximately one-third was new French oak from a slow growth forest. The biggest Chardonnay of the four showing a massive and dense nose with reduction in a natural, box of rubber bands kind of way. Intriguing and comforting, if you ever have experience real rubber bands that is... Definitely the most powerful of the group in aromatics, entry and flavor.

2021 Cuvée X Chardonnay

All made in the “cigar barrels’ made popular by Didier Dagueneau of 350 Liters in size. This wine has a compelling aromatic quality offering up beeswax, quince, and Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit. Amazing texture, so lush it gives the impression of being a fat slut-puppy of a wine but yet there is ample cleansing acidity showing up before the finish. A truly confusing and compelling wine. Cream soda for adults.

2021 Yates Conwill Vineyard Chardonnay

Aromatics are all Jura based with honeysuckle, lemon pith, low-tied and Asian pear. Entry is pure glycerol and mouth coating, leading you to believe that the wine will be big and cloying. Surprise as the high level of acidity causes a juxtaposition to occur in the mouth and brain throwing the drinker for a fun flip. Flavors are more toward a fresh cut alfalfa while strolling along a trout stream, or an Oregon Coast at low-tide with a warmed limestone bow of citrus. Finish is long and continues flipping between boldness and shyness with a massive umami finish.

2021 Cuvée E Pinot Noir

Your "everyday" "easy drinking" Pinot of "exceptional" value. Great vintage, almost as perfect as 2012. Something to savor or save. Textbook aromatics of cherries and freshly turned fertile soil. Entry of raspberries and blackberries with a squeeze of lemon. Mouth coating texture allowing secondary flavors of ripe black plum, blood orange and nutmeg. Finish is linear starting with what taste like sliced ripe red plums covered in heavy cream. Nice wine! $45 per bottle

2021 Maverick Vineyard Pinot Noir

This Pinot Noir entices with its smoldering blend of minty herbs, crushed stones, blackberries and cooling smoke. Plush yet energetic and packed full of dark red and black fruits, this excels with its wiry acidity and contrasting hints of sour citrus, keeping the palate fully engaged. It's structured, leaving a complex web of grippy tannins as violet and lavender inner florals slowly fade. The potential here is fantastic, yet patience will be required.

2021 Cuvée O Pinot Noir

This Pinot Noir opens with a dark, brooding blend of dusty sage and wilted violets accentuating crushed blackberries. This soothes with its cooling acidity and sleek red and black fruits, gaining youthful tension toward the close. It leaves a chewy concentration and mineral saturation, finishing gently tannic and with admirable length. Patience will be required to explore the full depths of the Cuvée O.

2021 Wind Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir

Wind Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir is home to the most northern vineyard in the Willamette Valley. From vines planted between 1974 and 1988, it is matured in one-third new French oak. It has plenty of dusky red and black fruit on the nose, interlaced with truffle and cola scents. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, focused tannins, lively red cherries and lingering cranberry that form the caressing, lightly spiced finish.

2021 White Cloud Pinot Noir

The 2021 Pinot Noir White Cloud Vineyard blossoms with a pretty blend of wild berries, cooling smoke and cedar shavings. It's softly textured with racy dark red fruits and slowly saturating saline mineral tones. It finishes long and staining yet only lightly structured, leaving a pleasantly bitter tinge as the mouth waters for more.

2021 One Puncheon Pinot Noir

The 2021 Pinot Noir One Puncheon blossoms in the glass as savory wild herbs depths and exotic spices give way to crushed blackberries and mentholated herbs. This is racy and sleek with cool-toned red and black fruits, as hints of cola and cocoa add contrast. A bitter twang lingers as the 2021 leaves the mouth watering despite the fine-grained tannins that add youthful poise.

2021 Tiny Tank Pinot Noir

The 2021 Pinot Noir Tiny Tank is spicy with a burst of savory herbs and blood orange, giving way to dried black cherries and hints of tobacco. This is silky-smooth with medium bodied weight and juicy red and blue fruits flowing over a vibrant acidity core. A sweet herbal thrust adds dimension through the finish as the 2021 tapers off with fine tannins, leaving hints of salted licorice and olive tapenade. There is simply so much going on here. The Tiny Tank is a Pinot that is full of surprises.

2021 333 Pinot Noir

The 2021 Pinot Noir 333 slowly evolves in the glass: a whiff of spicy oak and peppery florals blow off to reveal crushed black raspberry and hints of camphor. It soothes with its silky textures and red and black fruit depths, taking on a spicy and savory character over time with an herbal thrust as hints of sour citrus add contrast. Incredibly long and staining, the 2021 leaves the palate reeling with a residual burst of brisk acidity, enlivening olive tones and violet inner florals. This complex and immaculately balanced Pinot is just a baby today. I can't wait to see what a few more years of cellaring will reveal.

2021 Pinot Noir Yates Conwill Vineyard 777

"The darkly alluring 2021 Pinot Noir Yates Conwill Vineyard 777 smolders up from the glass with medicinal cherries and blackberries lifted by hints of rosemary and cedar. This is sleek, with lifted textures and bits of citrus enlivening its tart red berry fruits. Grippy tannins and saline minerals cake the palate, leaving a structured sensation as the 2021 finishes long and potent."

2020 Cuvée E Pinot Noir

“The nose is a pure red berry, violet and cherry with hints of tobacco. The palate is a pure bright and juicy black fruit with some tea–like dryness on the finish."
-Purely Domestic Wine Report:


Entry is big with loads of almost Barolo-like flavors such as stone fruit skin and the plum meat near the seed, a real aggressive intensity of flavors. Even some fresh Thai Basil shows through in more of an anise-like flavor. These flavors are usually a sign of potential longevity in a New World Pinot noir.

2020 Saffron Fields Vineyard Pinot Noir

Amazing entry with honeydew melon drizzled with fireweed honey. Closely followed by salted watermelon and honeysuckle stems. The entry is big, but not a massive attack, just a big bear hug of a wine. Bizarre astringency follows up right after the entry with the tannin of the French Oak combining with the acid of limes over lemons. Round mouthfeel shows Red Delicious apples initially then a hot baked apple pie using Granny Smith apples with the skins left on. Finish is linear with Carambola followed by a fresh hot Dutch Baby. And the finish shows Sugar coated apples from the County Fair but dusted with lemon-lime Pixie Stix. Read more

2020 Yates Conwill Vineyard Pinot Noir

The nose is a juicy maraschino cherry, with a fragrance of fresh spring meadow, moving into baking spices, cherry pie, and rich plum. The palate is red fruits, marionberry takes over with a sweet, subtle finish.

2020 White Pinot Noir

Making a purpose “built” wine of Pinot noir in the methodology of white wine. Grapes come in, whole cluster pressed with lots of solids and put into stainless steel barrels. Fermentation is all native without any additions other than heat to get it to go dry by the first quarter. An amazingly complex wine even though it was made quickly.
