2021 L’ouest
L’ouest is our newest Estate Pinot Noir from West Wind Vineyard located within the small Ribbon Ridge AVA. This vineyard is a beautiful study of Pinot Noir with plantings of 777, 115, Wädensville, and Pommard at elevations ranging from 300’ to 800’. The marine sediment soil creates a beautiful tension within the wonderfully luscious Pinot Noir clone characteristics. The L’ouest is a blend of the 8 best barrels from this vineyard site. These barrels are chosen to create a wine that is well balanced, fruit forward and with enough acid to cellar well. Like our other estate wines, this wine will cellar beautifully for 8-10 years.
Only 200 cases produced.
2021 Joie De Vivre
Joie de Vivre is the perfect representation of the flagship Estate Privé Vineyard. A 50/50 blend of our Le Nord and Le Sud Vineyard. We hand select the best barrel from the Le Sud vineyard and the best barrel from the Le Nord vineyard and blend them into a gorgeous wine. This wine is a perfect balance of our bold, ripe cherry tannin driven southern vineyard with the acid focused raspberry, floral notes from our north vineyard. It is lovingly placed in an etched, hand painted, numbered and signed bottle for your extra special occasions. This wine will cellar beautifully for 10 to 15 years.
Only 50 cases produced.

Aged for 12 months in 35% new French Oak. The estate vineyard is 100% Jory soil planted with 42 year old Pommard clone.

2021 Reserve Chardonnay
Our flagship Chardonnay for Privé Vineyard. We sourced the 95 clone Chardonnay from an organic and sustainably farmed vineyard in the upper elevations of Dundee Hills AVA. The fermentation and élevage took place in one neutral French oak barrel and one new French oak barrel. The acid is well-balanced with the full, rounded mouthfeel and long crisp finish. The
beautiful zest of the citrus chased by the fragrance and softness of melon and finishing with a touch of baked brioche.
Only 50 cases produced.

2021 Chehalem Mountain Pinot Noir
This Chehalem Mountains AVA Pinot Noir is crafted from grapes we source from beautiful nearby vineyards. Like our estate, we look to source environmentally farmed vineyards with exquisite vines. The 2022 vintage is 777 clone Pinot Noir from laurel wood soil along the Eastern edge of Chehalem Mountain AVA. Kissed with just a little whole cluster, this wine is all about the elegant chocolate covered cherry with a slightly peppery velvet finish. Aged in neutral French Oak for 12 months. Will cellar for 4 – 8 years, but is designed to satisfy that impatient wine lover in all of us.
Approximately 100 cases produced.
2021 Reserve Syrah
We love the contrast and food pairing versatility of the “warm climate” grapes from Eastern Washington. The Walla Walla AVA is a region with spectacular vineyards. We are honored to have access to the very special Les Collines Vineyard to make our Northern Rhone Style Reserve Syrah. Pinot Noir lovers will gravitate to this Syrah with an elegant presentation of luscious blackberry and stone fruits, just a touch of earth and subtle pepper on the finish. A pure expression of the vineyard, without being over ripened or heavily extracted. The Reserve Syrah Will cellar for 4 – 8 years, but is designed to satisfy that impatient wine lover in all of us.
Approximately 100 cases produced.
Ruby Port
Our first year of making this authentic, Solera-style Port began in 2002. Solera refers to an ongoing blend that offers depth, character and complexity that we might not otherwise find in a particular vintage. Each new batch is carefully crafted using the authentic practices of Portugal to increase the ongoing blend by 10% each year. The grapes are left on the vine to ripen as long as is possible, then handpicked, destemmed and a fermentation begins. When the natural sugars have been depleted to the 8% level, brandy is added and the skins are pressed. Enjoy the aged notes of nuts, dried fruit, mushroom pairs beautifully with the bright pop of fruit and acid from the newer vintage.
