In the Heart of Oregon's Wine Country

 

A boutique vineyard is hidden away in the majestic Chehalem Mountains of Newberg, Oregon, 18 miles southwest of Portland.

With a small annual production of 500 cases, we produce a trio of distinct wines by fermenting each of the five clones of Pinot Noir; Pommard, 114, 115, 667 and 777 in separate fermentors with their own designated yeast.  Selecting the perfect yeast for each clone produces an exquisite symphony of aromas and flavors in the blended wines.

Our Jacob and Rachel Estate Pinot Noirs are named after their respective vineyard blocks.  The St. James Estate Pinot Noir is a blend of both blocks and is aged in neutral barrels.

The Bella Chardonnay is the Wente clone from the famous Celilo Vineyard in the Columbia Gorge.  Our practice of fermenting the wine in 50% stainless and 50% french oak barrels along with premium yeast selections produces a beautiful melody of intense aromas and flavors in the finished wine.

 

Purchasing wine is easier than ever. You can call and make a private tasting appointment at (503) 504-3796.  Our wines are also available at many fine retail locations for your convenience.  Please go to "Purchase Wine" for a list of retailers.

Potter's Vineyard

Bill and Sandy Sanchez from Tigard, Oregon purchased Laura's estate vineyard in September, 2012.  They were quickly immersed in harvest, sorting fruit, punchdowns, long hours and sore muscles from all the hard work.  Their passion for handcrafted old-world style wines will continue the legacy of premium wines made from this small boutique vineyard for many years to come.
