Introducing 2014 Massale!
From John, November 28th, 2017Introducing our newest creation, 2014 Massale of Pinot noir.
Also newly released are our 2013 Nebbiolo and 2015 single vineyard wines: Clos Electrique Rouge and Blanc from our estate vineyard just outside the winery door and Abbey Ridge Pinot noir and Chardonnay, from our friends at one of the oldest and best vineyards in the state of Oregon. 2015 was a warm year, but our vines said “you call this hot?”. Their deep roots gave them everything they needed in the cool earth well below the surface to make elegant wines without, well, breaking a sweat. We think you’ll love them!

will not be the carnage wreaked upon our immigrant workers but rather 2025 as a truly magnificent vintage!
