In comparison to the Chehalem Mountains fruit that we have used for the previous two decades, the fruit from the Yamhill-Carlton AVA produces bigger, richer wines. Though this works well for us given our California experience, our goal here is not to make a California wine out of Oregon fruit, but rather to produce something that is true to type. Moreover, we truly wanted to produce a wine not just with size but also with complexity. Thanks to the great work of vineyard manager, Ken Kupperman, we were able to get fruit that was ripe, rich, and yet also possessed the balance and complexity that we hoped to coax out of the wine.
