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.

This exceptional Pinot Noir is sourced exclusively from the Kittyhawk Vineyard in the Salem Hills and is available in Revino reusable bottles. It emphasizes the importance of sustainability and maintaining a balanced ecosystem in winemaking. This wine also honors our partnership with the Cascades Raptor Center, which helps release rehabilitated birds of prey into our estate vineyards. These barn owls, kestrels, and hawks promote biodiversity and provide natural protection against damaging rodents, eliminating the need for harmful pesticides and poisons.
