Our 2019 Chardonnay is made from grapes grown in the Inguz Row and Tre Figli Vineyards in the Laurelwood District AVA in the Willamette Valley. The nose leads with honeysuckle, tropical fruit and citrus. The palate is round and ripe with apple and lemon curd flavors joined by an intriguing minerality and mouthwatering acidity.

The Ruby Vineyard Old Vine Estate Pinot Noir is entirely comprised of 43 year old own rooted pinot noir from our estate vineyard. On the nose there are hints of ripe red fruits over-laid by darker toned blue fruits. The generous pallet shows off the deep concentration of old vines and the 2019 growing season. Soft yet supple tannins carry the wine through the mid-pallet leaving the taster with a slightly spicy finish.
