Refined accompaniment to classic fall dishes laden with umami, this beautifully aged Pinot noir defines the classic Oregon vintage.

We are elated to be able to offer extraordinarily aged wines of this caliber.

Quarter Mile Lane Vineyard
“I remember the first time I walked through Quarter Mile with David [Adelsheim]. He was peeling moss off the vines as he was guiding me through the vineyard.”
First planted in 1972, Quarter Mile Lane is our oldest vineyard. This 14.83 acre site sits south-facing at up to 680 feet above sea level. Pinot noir and Chardonnay grapes are grown in volcanic soil at this site that is also the home of our founder, David Adelsheim!
