Our 2021 vintage of the Soil Series is designed for wine enthusiasts eager to explore the geological history and depth of terroir. Each soil type represents layers of geological history, capturing a snapshot of the growing season in every bottle—as we like to think of them, true time capsules. With each sip of this trio, you embark on a journey through time and terroir, experiencing the unique characteristics of Oregon’s diverse soils in every glass.

Bellpine Soil: Under the weight of the Pacific Ocean, Marine sedimentary soil is derived from sandstone and ocean floor shales. Shallow and low in nutrients, vines must develop deep roots to access the water and minerals needed for fruit production. Among the oldest soils in the state, Bellpine soil formed over 200 million years ago during a collision of the tectonic plates that caused Oregon to rise to sea level and buckle into the coastal and cascade mountain ranges that contain the magnificent Willamette Valley.
