Distinctive Wines
Created from Years of Experience
Whites, Rose, Pinot, Rhone Style
Riesling “Aunt Diane’s Vineyard”
Columbia Gorge
Our dry Riesling is made from a vineyard planted in 1980 and owned by Chris’s aunt. This wine offers classical Riesling aromas and ideal minerality, with an amazing hint of petrol.
Gewurztraminer
Columbia Gorge
The Columbia Gorge is our ideal place to grow world class dry Gewurztraminer. Using two sites planted in the mid 1980s, Celilo and Oak Ridge Vineyards, we blend this intense wine to showcase the best of the Gorge.
Gewurztraminer “Celilo Vineyard”
Columbia Gorge
Our flagship white wine made in the Alsatian style of France. Winemaker Chris Dowsett has loved and worked with Gewürztraminer since he was a teenager in 1983, becoming an expert in crafting amazing dry wines with balance and complexity.
Georgia Rose “Becklin Vineyards”
Pinot Noir Rosé Oregon
Our “Georgia Rose,” named after Chris’s grandmother, is a beautiful Rosé with both fruit and peppery spices. Acidity and body enable this wine to pair easily with food. It is made with grapes from the vineyard of Chris’s sister and her husband.
Pinot Noir “Becklin Vineyards”
Oregon
Our Oregon Pinot Noir is grown on vines we specially selected from Becklin Vineyards on Pete’s Mountain. In the center section of this vineyard is a combination Chris loves: Pommard Clone Pinot grapes in Jory soil. With wild fruit and minerality, it is a classic Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.
Two Magpies Red Wine
Columbia Valley
Based on Rhone style blends loved by Chris while working in South Australia, this wine merges the best attributes of Syrah and Mourvedre to create a unique complexity. Similarly, the label artwork illustrates the characteristics of magpies of North America and those “down under”.
Mourvedre “Heart of the Hill Vineyard”
Red Mountain
A big red that showcases depth, this is a rich offering from the high slopes of Red Mountain. It features 100% Mourvedre in all its glory.
