Willamette Valley Vineyards & Winery

An illustration of the art of blending, Signature Cuvée is our Winemaker's selection from the finest barrels sourced from our Estate, Elton and Tualatin Estate Vineyards. With site driven diversity, we are able to craft this wine to our precise and quality standards.

For more than two decades we have been working with the Moore family, dedicated stewards growing the highest-quality wines from their Rogue Valley vineyards since 1989. The Rogue Valley is an emerging Oregon region with temperatures similar to France's Bordeaux or Rhône regions.

Deep garnet in color, the wine opens with aromas of black currant, blackberry, and dried herbs. The full-bodied and opulent sip reveals juicy dark cherry, cedar and baking spices that migrates into a silky and chewy tannin finish that lingers with notes of tobacco and cassis.

Tualatin Estate Vineyard rests in the foothills of the Oregon Coast range and is one of the oldest plantings in Oregon, planted in 1973 by Oregon wine pioneer Bill Fuller, and now in the newly approved Tualatin Hills AVA. The unique Laurelwood soil profile at the Tualatin Estate Vineyard contributes to the complex nature of the wines.

Folsom's rich winemaking history dates back to the mid-1800s with the planting of the celebrated Natoma Vineyard. In the early 1900s, Natoma Vineyard boasted 2,000 acres and was one of the largest vineyards in the state when gold was discovered on the property — and the vines were replaced with dredgers. Our dream is to reestablish Natoma by crafting local wines and celebrating its place in California wine history.

Picked late in the season to develop high levels of sugar and flavor and then commercially frozen to concentrate the juice creating a deliciously sweet dessert wine.

Jim Bernau carefully sourced clones from Burgundy with the help of the Oregon legislature, Oregon Governor and Oregon State University.

Ruby in color, the wine features a nose of black cherry, anise and earth. An inviting palate with fruit-forward flavors of cranberry and raspberry are accented by baking spices and toasted oak over a medium-bodied frame with integrated tannins and balanced acidity. 

Sourced from old vine plantings at our Elton Vineyard, founded in 1983 by Dick and Betty O’Brien, on the east-southeast slopes of the Eola-Amity Hills. With over a decade and a half of careful bottle maturation, this is one of the first Pinot Noirs bottled from our Elton Vineyard and showcases why this is such an esteemed and award-winning wine vineyard. 

For nearly two decades we have been working with growers, Don and Traute Moore, crafting the highest-quality wines from their Rogue Valley vineyards. With temperatures similar to France's Bordeaux or Rhone regions, this area is an emerging Oregon region.

The 2010 vintage was marked by a long, cool and late growing season producing exceptional wines with bright, concentrated flavors, balanced fruit and bold aromas. The wines coming out of this vintage had balanced acidity and lower alcohol levels delivering fantastic ageability.

Sourced from Quail Run Vineyards in Southern Oregon, owned by dedicated growers Don and Traute Moore who are known for being Southern Oregon’s most celebrated producer of premium wine grapes.

The 2011 vintage was dominated by a cool and late growing season, but the wines it produced have been superb. Concentrated fruit flavors are balanced with bold aromas while the acidity and lower alcohol levels insured ageability in the wine cellar.
