It is important to me to be present during the growing season to understand what and how the conditions the grapes have been created in. I spent a great deal of time visiting each site as the grapes ripen to access and evaluate what will eventually come into the winery and decide when to pick, the most important decision I make. For this reason I choose vineyards that are close by. Sunnyside is my furthest flung, just south of Salem and takes me about 45 minutes to get there. Lucy and Tom’s fruit and resulting wine is so compelling that the extra time to get there is well worth it. Elegant and yet still muscular, this vineyard produces amazing wine year in and year out.
tasting notes -
This wine offers a full rich nose, cinnamon, cedar and new leather. Great density on the palate, rich but with a focused palate as the acid holds this wine in perfect tension. Flavors are explosive, fresh. The structure here is based more on its acidity than tannins, though the tannins are there they just melt on your tongue. This wine has great length to accompany its generosity.

Illahe Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir begins with strawberry, tamarind, and blackberry then broaden along the palate to include chalk, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and earth. The acid supports a complete yet not overwhelming tannin balanced between skin and oak. The wine retains its velvet mouthfeel through a process of clarification by racking.

LCC is a pioneer in White Pinot! With body and complexity, this is a white wine for red wine drinkers. Soft gold in color, displaying aromas of honeysuckle, shortbread, and ripe pear. The palate is rich and round, with flavors of dried apricots and pineapple, finishing with a dry mineral finish.
Crisp & clean - the perfect compliment to a summer evening.

Warmed cherry turnover, fig preserves and cigar tobacco float in the air. After a moment of reflection, the first sip reveals chai spice, wild elderberry, dark plum, and sassafras. Balanced and bold, with expressions of quince paste, huckleberry, dark chocolate and a hint of bourbon-maple syrup carries you through to a velvety, lingering finish.
