Wines
We specialize in estate-grown, organically farmed Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from our Aegrina Vineyard located in McMinnville AVA. The diverse styles of Pinot Noir we produce come from the various slopes and soils on our vineyard in addition to the various clonal selections planted. The fruit we grow on Aegrina Vineyard is notable due to bright acidity, concentrated flavors, and lifted aromatics.
Our Estate wines showcase a quintessential example of the vineyard and vintage. The Estate Pinot Noir is comprised of a blend of clones aged in very little new oak making it a fresh and vibrant example of the fruit we grow. The Estate Chardonnay is the singular example of Chardonnay we make each year and it expresses the Aegrina Vineyard through acidity and French-inspired finesse.
Our Literati Series Pinot Noirs are our top-tier of wines made in very small-batches (less than 150 cases each) from selected vineyard blocks. Their titles are book-inspired (Title Page, Rare Imprint, Perfect Bind, and End Papers) and each represent the most diverse expressions of Pinot Noir on Aegrina Vineyard.
