We work with vineyards throughout the Pacific Northwest that grows exceptional grapes and practice sustainable agriculture. Most are LIVE certified, Salmon-Safe, or using organic growing practices.
Apolloni Vineyards - Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Grown by Alfredo and Laurine Apolloni
As the former winemaker at Apolloni Vineyards, Anne chose the blocks and clones she most adored from this site. They include Dijon clone 115 from the southeasterly facing Olivia block and Dijon clone 777 from the southerly facing Flaminia block.
Björnson Vineyard - Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir
Grown by Pattie and Mark Björnson
An idyllic 107-acre site in the heart of the Eola-Amity Hills AVA comprised of forest, field, stream, and three blocks of Pinot Noir. Pattie and Mark’s first priority is to “care for the land,” using certified LIVE farming practices to foster ecological balance in the vineyard and ultimately, balance in the grapes.
Dion Vineyard - Chehalem Mountains Syrah
Grown by Kevin Johnson and Beth Klingner
Planted in 1973 by Ron and Joanne Johnson, this vineyard grows many varieties, in particular Pinot Noir and a small plot of cool climate Syrah. The Johnson family has since expanded to 60 acres, with the younger generation of the Johnson family at the helm.
Lia’s Vineyard - Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir
Grown by Todd Hansen
Lia’s Vineyard is situated in the Chehalem Mountains AVA and is comprised of a portion of the original well-regarded Jacob-Hart Vineyard. The soils are mostly jory, a dark reddish-brown silty clay loam.
Oasis Vineyard - Horse Heaven Hills Syrah
Grown by Derek Hill
Managed with a philosophy of minimalism, Oasis allows the plants to do what they are designed to do. Hill explains, “We are here to shepherd that process rather than determine it.” We source our fruit from the oldest block of Syrah on the farm, planted in 1999.
Heart of the Hill Vineyard - Red Mountain Mourvédre
Grown by Scott Williams
Planted and run by the Williams family, an early proponent, and developer of the Red Mountain AVA, and situated halfway up the mountain’s slope. This vineyard’s fantastic exposure and distinct soil characteristics made for some of the best Mourvédre grapes around.
High Pass Vineyard - Willamette Valley Huxelrebe
Grown by Dieter Boehm
This vineyard was founded in 1984 by Deiter Boehm in the southern end of the Willamette Valley and continues to produce exceptional fruit year after year. Known for being sustainable before it was “cool,” they place great emphasis on farming with respect for the earth.
Yamhill Valley Vineyards - Willamette Valley Pinot Blanc & Riesling
Grown by Denis Burger and Stephen Cary
This vineyard is located on a 150-acre estate in the rolling foothills of Oregon’s Coast Range Mountains. The land is primarily sedimentary clays with basalt intrusions, with a complex array of Yamhill, Carlton, Chehalem, Panther Creek, and Willakenzie soils.
Stavig Vineyard - Happy Valley Melon de Bourgogne
Grown by Bruce Biehl for Trudy Stavig
Perched above Happy Valley, Oregon, this vineyard produces beautiful Melon grapes. The cuttings for this vineyard’s 3,000 nearly 20-year-old vines came from the old John Stewart vineyard (now DePonte), not long after it was determined that the vines were in fact Melon, rather than Pinot Blanc.
Kathken Vineyard - Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir Rosé
Grown by Ken and Kathy Slusser
A quiet, secluded 51-acre vineyard growing 34 acres of Pinot Noir (predominantly Pommard and Wädenswil clones), on Geneva Double Curtain and Carbonneau “Open Lyre” trellis systems, both of which, coupled with the 700’-900’ elevation, make for optimum production and quality.
Redman Vineyard - Ribbon Ridge Pinot Blanc & Arneis
Grown by Cathy Redman
Sitting at the crown on Ribbon Ridge with a gentle southern slope, this vineyard is LIVE-certified, Salmon Safe, and Certified Sustainable. Seven distinct soil sub-varieties can be found within these 30 acres: Bellpin, Dupee, Goodin, Panther, Rickreall, Sitton, and Wellsdale.
