Our three Estate vineyards are located in the Northern Dundee Hills appellation. The AVA is perhaps best known for its rust-red volcanic soils formed by Columbia River Basalts more than 14 million years ago. These rich clay-loam soils, predominantly Jory and Nekia, are deep and well drained. Combined, all three vineyard sites total 60 acres under vine and comprise more than 80 individual vineyard blocks. Planting began in 1988 with Pommard and Wädenswil. Today, the oldest vines in the vineyard are now reaching their zenith at 34+ years of age, and they express terroir-driven power and finesse.

"The 2022 ‘Estate’ is a barrel selection wine coming from this 65 acre location in the Dundee Hills AVA set on Jory soils. The nose shows dense dark fruits with black florals alongside suggestions of marionberry and tangerine zest. The palate is dense and very volcanic soil-infused with its beautiful core of black and red fruits. Considering the vintage there is some really good flavor density. This has a long way to go in the cellar. Drink 2024-2040"

“This is comprised of the top 22 barrels off the estate vineyards in Dundee Hills, all on Jory volcanic soils. The texture and longevity that this wine delivers nods to a serious ageability and is crafted that way. A melange of clones and 35% new French oak with aromatics of raspberry leaf, dusty red berries, mouthfuls of pomegranate pulp, salted blood orange and intensely savoury dried herbs. The finish is lengthy and intense, with a note of roasted nori that lingers on the tongue.” — Clive Pursehouse

Aromas of dark fruit, spice box and crushed stone. Dark cherries and blackberries with a hint of spice on the medium-bodied palate with expressive tannins. Aromatic and inviting finish. Drink or hold.

“Sleek and vibrant, with elegantly layered cherry and cranberry flavors that take on accents of forest floor and rose petal as this gathers tension toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2023. 440 cases made. ”—Tim Fish, Senior Editor

“The 2022 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills pours a ripe magenta/almost purple-tinged hue and is layered on the nose with notes of black cherries, lavender, sweet earth, rosemary, and pine. Medium to full-bodied, it has more structure and broader shoulders, with ripe tannins and even acidity. It’s built to last over the coming 12-15 years.”—Audrey Frick

“More savory than sweet and decidedly spicy, the 2022 Pinot Noir Lange Estate Vineyard opens with a burst of ground cloves, cinnamon sticks and dried black cherries. This displays silken textures while remaining lifted in feel as a tart wave of wild berry fruit gives way to tactile mineral tones toward the close. Blue and purple inner florals resonate as the lightly structured 2022 tapers off with a savory tinge.”—Eric Guido. Drinking Window 2025-2030
