Chehalem's Inner Circle: First to Taste, First to Buy, First to Enjoy!
Over the past 20 years, we have developed a somewhat scientific reputation, combining reams of winemaking data, an ardent desire to experiment, and an ever-present respect for Mother Nature. As a result, our wine selection is one of the most diverse in the Willamette Valley.
- Our white wines range from racy, fresh, and mineral-laden to subtly oaked and sublime, representing the cool-climate varietals of Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, and—our most recent favorite—Grüner Veltliner.
- Our Pinot Noirs are sourced from our estate vineyards located in three different AVAs and express three distinct Willamette Valley terroirs. Corral Creek Vineyards in the Chehalem Mountains yields Pinots with strawberry and red currants combined with spice, delicacy, and depth. Stoller Vineyards in the Dundee Hills is our source for soft, velvety Pinot Noirs filled with dark cherry and earth.
- Finally, Ribbon Ridge is home to two of our most sought-after single-vineyard wines. The first, Ridgecrest, was the original vineyard planted in this AVA back in 1982 and consistently produces rich, black-fruited Pinots with a great capacity for aging. Wind Ridge Block, our youngest site located just across the road, promises to be just as engaging, with complex dark fruits, tobacco, and spice.
As a member of any of our Tasting Panel Wine Clubs, you will be first to taste and learn about our wines. You’ll also get them at a discounted price and will have access to limited library wines, private events, and our in-depth winemaker’s notes.
