  • 2022 Holstein Estate Pinot Noir
    Holstein Estate Vineyard, Dundee Hills AVA
    Expand
    Holstein Estate Vineyard, one of the Willamette Valley's earliest sites planted in 1972, sits at an elevation of 615-740 feet on the eastern edge of the prestigious Dundee Hills AVA. The vineyard's distinctive Jory soils—red volcanic clay with exceptional water retention—allow for dry farming and deep root development, while diverse block aspects and Pacific winds create ideal conditions for slow, balanced fruit maturation. This historic site, now sustainably farmed without synthetic inputs, produces complex Pinot Noir from Old World clones, expressing a Burgundian character while showcasing Oregon’s unique terroir. Notes of Rainier cherry, fresh raspberry, dried rose petals, violets, Redwood forest, and rhubarb. 96 pts- Decanter
    Suggested Retail Price: $65
  • 2022 Koosah Vineyard Pinot Noir
    Koosah Vineyard, Eola-Amity AVA
    Expand
    Koosah Vineyard, planted in 2016, stands as one of the highest sites in the Eola-Amity Hills at 700-1100 feet elevation, where biodynamic and regenerative farming practices have been employed since its inception. The vineyard's extreme elevation and exposure to coastal winds create intensity and tension in both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with Chardonnay thriving on the steepest, highest blocks. This distinctive terroir, combined with meticulous farming methods, produces wines of exceptional energy and complexity. Koosah Vineyard captures both freshness and intensity, delivering concentrated dark fruit character with remarkable depth. The wine unfolds with layers of ripe plum, supple saddle leather, and delicate dried rose petals, all woven through a compelling rustic texture that speaks to its impressive aging potential.. 96 pts - Decanter
    Suggested Retail Price: $65
  • 2022 Louie Reserve Pinot Noir
    Holstein Estate Vineyard, Dundee Hills AVA
    Expand
    The Louie Reserve is crafted from a selection of the oldest vines on the Holstein estate that date back to the early ‘90s. A gentle primary fermentation was completed with only ambient yeast and lasted 15 days. The wine was raised for 11 months in a mix of barrels (35% new), including some beautiful single-origin tight grain Chassin’s from the forest of Jupille in northwest France. After élevage, the wines were bottled unfined and unfiltered then aged in bottle for one year. Notes of sage, pine sap, violets and rose hips with layers of graphite, mushrooms, decaying underbrush, bitter chocolate, reduced cherries and pomegranate. 95 pts - Decanter
    Suggested Retail Price: $95
  • 2022 O'Della Reserve Chardonnay
    Willamette Valley AVA; Dundee Hills AVA, Eola-Amity AVA
    Expand
    Every year, we approach the assemblage of the O’Della Reserve with the aim of demonstrating the absolute highest capacity for Oregon Chardonnay. Picking in early October, the fruit was gently whole-cluster pressed before being put to barrel with all of the solids for fermentation. Not all the barrels went through the secondary fermentation (malolactic), which gives this release of O’Della an electric intensity and presence. Notes of stone fruit, bergamot, limoncello and pecorino with a coastal salinity and rich, lifted aromas of warm pastry, jasmine and camelia. 96 pts - Decanter
    Suggested Retail Price: $95
