Notes

In the 1860's our land was settled. Only some barbed wire fencing, a stone foundation and crumpled tin roof remained when we started planting vines. Often we escort visitors, with Rosie the vineyard dog leading the way, to the special site of the original cabin. We named the south sloped site with its magnificent view of snow capped Mt. Hood, and our cultivated hillsides "Homestead" Block. Planted to Dijon 115 clone of Pinot Noir, the wine saw 100% whole cluster fermentation, followed by aging in older French oak barrels, aiming to minimize any intervention in a pure expression of the grape and the spirit of the hearty people who first worked the land. 50 cases produced
