We at Chehalem understand this reverence, for we consider ourselves a vineyard winery, dedicated to reflecting as purely as possible what the vineyard has produced, with minimal processing, without compromising great fruit. Our vineyard sites are at once warm and ripening, yet austere and cruelly stingy with grapes.
Grapes never lack for intensity.
The original Ridgecrest , Stoller , and Corral Creek vineyards are Chehalem's three estate vineyards. Small premium estate winery, established since '90 . . . To watch, especially for Burgundy-influenced, first release 94 Pinot Noir.
