In 2002, 2nd-generation winemaker Jason Lett launched a solo effort, introducing his own individualistic interpretation of Oregon Pinot noir and later Chardonnay. With a production of less than 350 cases per year, Lett continues to source his fruit from dry -farmed, older vines from around the Northern Willamette Valley. His wines emphasize a velvety structure and generous finishes. At the same time, they pay homage to his family’s Eyrie Vineyards style by being built to cellar, with restrained use of oak and a sensitivity towards balance. |

Sibling rivalry never tasted so good! Acclaimed Oregon Winemaker Ryan Michael Harms and his brother Eric Christopher Harms have developed a reputation for delivering quality wine at a great value. The Harms brothers seek out high quality fruit from reputable growers, in well established growing regions, and create wines with typicity of varietal and vineyard. Ryan then continues with his meticulous style of winemaking to produce, yet again, delicious wines that over deliver on flavor for the price. These are wines that can be enjoyed any day of the week with any number of siblings. |

Our intent is to create an estate winery known largely for its red varietals. Foremost among our reds is the Spanish grape Tempranillo. A natural bridge between the Pinot Noir and the Cabernet Sauvignon, this grape is legendary in Europe and vastly under-planted in the New World. We are positioning ourselves to be among the first estate wineries showcasing Tempranillo. We’ll stack the cards by using the benefits of Oregon’s varied climates to make Tempranillo, Syrah and Pinot Noir from vineyard sites aptly suited to these grapes. Our strategy hinges on the concept of “overlapping climates”. That is to say, we will harvest the same variety of grapes in two climates, one slightly warmer than the other. This ensures more complex and consistent wines, and the ability to single out a vineyard that particularly prospered under the specific onditions of each vintage. |

The Eyrie Vineyard’s David Lett founded the Willamette Valley’s modern era of winemaking in 1965, when he brought to the region it's first Pinot noir, Chardonnay, and the country’s first Pinot gris. Throughout his long career, David elevated The Eyrie Vineyards to enduring international status. David’s son Jason Lett took over the domaine in 2005, and continues to evolve the wines while paying homage to Eyrie’s founding ethos. One idea continues to guide the farming of Eyrie’s vines: a wine can be no better than the grapes from which it is made. All of Eyrie’s wines are grown on the 50-acre estate, and have always been farmed with a deep sense of kinship with nature. Herbicides and insecticides were rejected from the beginning, and vines today are farmed without irrigation, tillage, or synthetic chemicals. The quality of these grapes demands great care in winemaking; thus, Eyrie has deliberately limited its’ size and production, having reached its present average annual production of 8000 cases in 1983. Under Jason’s care, Eyrie remains an estate with a single minded dedication to handcrafted wine. |

The winery's name is a combination of owner/winemaker Jim Prosser's grandfathers' names and represents a covenant he holds with their integrity. A wasp features prominently on the label because he is allergic and has twice nearly killed him at harvest; it reminds us that he puts all of his energy into this brand. Jim focuses on making classically structured, agreeable, high-acid, smooth tannin Pinot noir. Nuance. Small production like the 1300 cases for the 2003 vintage allows Jim to make the highest quality wine on a barrel-by-barrel basis. The winery is nestled in a working hazelnut orchard in Yamhill County, Oregon. Jim purchases fruit from top Willamette Valley vineyards. Owner: Jim Prosser. |

Patton Valley was founded by Monte Pitt and Dave Chen in 1995. We met in the mid- 1980s while attending business school. The result is wine with a silky, sensuous texture, a solid backbone of acidity, long flavors dominated by fruit, and complex aromas. Our foremost tenant of winemaking is to allow the characteristics of the site, or "terroir," to show through. The process begins with fastidious vineyard practices. Monte, our winemaker, learned these firsthand while working at Beaux Freres, one of Oregon's premier Pinot Noir producers. |

The creation of ROCO wines is the result of twenty years of dreaming, research, and planning. In 1987, the same year Rollin Soles began to develop the prestigious Argyle Winery, he also purchased a unique hillside property in the Chehalem Mountain Range Yet, it was not until 2001 that Rollin and his wife Corby planted the hillside to Pinot Noir, and in 2003 announced the fruit of their long held vision, ROCO wines (pronounced rock-oh). The result is a vineyard and wines that reflect the very best distillation of Rollin's 20 years of Oregon viticultural learning and the property's special characteristics. The Soles' small Wits' End Vineyard is situated on the southern slopes of the Chehalem Mountain Range, approximately six miles from the small town of Newberg in Yamhill County. The site is superbly located. In the winter the Chehalem Mountains protect the vineyard from the northeast Arctic winds, and in the summer the Dundee Hills (to the south) transition the Pacific ocean winds into gentle afternoon breezes.
