2018 Griffin Creek Griffin
— Wine Club & Owner Exclusive —
For more than two decades we have been working with growers the Moore family, dedicated growers crafting the highest-quality wines from their Rogue Valley vineyards since 1996. With temperatures similar to France's Bordeaux or Rhône regions, this area is an emerging Oregon region.
On the Nose: Garnet in color, the wine opens with aromatics of plum, blueberry, blackberry, vanilla and cedar. Flavors run the spectrum of red and black fruit with layered earth and spiciness of clove, cassis and anise.
On the Palate: The lush, full-bodied mouthfeel has seamless, soft tannins, balancing acidity and considerable length to create a harmonious blend of interest and structure.
Food Pairings: Marinated flank steak, braised pork with blackberry sauce, garlic and rosemary crusted lamb, stuffed mushrooms and dark chocolate desserts.
Peak Drinkability: 2021-2031

Quail Run Vineyards
Rogue Valley AVA
Pioneers of the Oregon wine industry, Don and Traute Moore have been cultivating vines at their Quail Run Vineyards in the Rogue Valley since 1989, growing varietals from all over the world. What they discovered through careful site selection and temperatures similar to France’s Bordeaux or Rhône regions was the ability to grow a “world of wine” in the Rogue Valley as the varietals flourished. Their site is now one of Oregon’s largest and highly regarded vineyards in the industry.
Quail Run Vineyards is LIVE Certified and collaborate closely with universities on multiple experiments to improve grape quality, improve soils and pest management practices.
Shortly after partnering with Quail Run Vineyards to make our first vintage in 1996,
our Griffin Creek Merlot was named “Best Red Wine in Oregon” by Wine Spectator.
Willamette Valley Vineyards has grown from a bold idea into one of the region’s leading wineries, earning the title “One of America’s Great Pinot Noir Producers” from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
