A jewel-like, deep ruby color is the first thing that draws attention to this wine. The rich color is matched by equally rich notes of cinnamon, cigar box, plum, and dark chocolate notes on the nose. To complement this wine's wealth of character on the nose, elements of cherry, violet, earth and leather linger on the palate. The finish is generous and broad, with oak and grape tannins balanced perfectly against a subtle acid structure. Enjoy now until at least 2030.

A brilliant example of Pinot Gris from a consistent and warmer than average Willamette Valley growing season. This wine has a brilliant straw yellow color. Aromas of honeysuckle, Bartlett pear and pineapple are framed by delicate notes of mineral, rose petal and lemon zest. A supple wine from the start, the palate exudes flavors of fresh cut pear, pineapple and key lime. There is a striking balance of ripe fruit and fresh acidity that provides a lengthy clean finish. This wine will age beautifully through the next decade.

Complex, inviting and elegant, the 2015 Archer’s Edge Vineyard opens with alluring aromas of wild mushroom, fresh leather, forest floor and thimble berry. The palate expresses deeper layers of dried fig cake and crushed raspberry, supported by suggestions of stone, tar and soil. This wine expands on the palate with juicy acidity that culminates in a lush, velvety texture on the finish.
