“For years I have dreamed of making Pinot Noir in Oregon.  Finally, after an extensive search I purchased this 128-acre hillside ten miles southwest of McMinnville on the edge of the Coastal Range in December 2004.  The panoramic views stretch from Mount Hood to the East, South across the Willamette Valley and West to the Coastal Range.

My selection of this particular site was the culmination of several years of intense research of potential vineyard sites. 

The deciding factors in selecting this site were

the compelling mix of soils, solar orientation and

micro-climates indicative of the world’s greatest

Pinot Noir vineyards.”
