Releasing our “2020 Resilience Rose” made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from our Meridian Estate Vineyards in Silverton, Oregon. This dry rose has some bright fruit of fresh watermelon, juicy strawberry, and tart raspberry. Light in color, the body is rich and smooth. Great to pair with both light bodied foods such as a summer salad or creamy cheese board but can stand up to robust barbeque and hearty meats as well.

2020 was a difficult year for our region. 

The tasting room was closed for just over 6 months of the year due to Covid-19 restrictions. In October, our region suffered from historic forest fires that blanketed our vineyards in thick smoke for many days, while our production and tasting room was in a Level 2 evacuation zone. Harvest was further complicated by the smoke and maintaining safe air quality for our vineyard crew. Cap off the season with a major ice storm in early 2021 which caused the tasting room and production facility to lose power for 12 days.

Through it all, our winemaker/owner Chris Deckelmann was able to produce a Rose that reflects the vintage and all we went through. Resilience Rose is made to commemorate the year and recognize the efforts of our entire community to get through this with a reason to celebrate. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to first responders in our medical industry who dealt with the Covid pandemic first hand, as well as our local firefighters who tirelessly worked to protect so many lives combating the surrounding fires.

The health and safety of our guests and staff is of the highest priority.  There will be some changes to our experience for the time being.  Below are details about the tasting experience we can offer at this time, and the steps we are taking to ensure everyone's safety.  If you are feeling ill, or have been in contact with someone who has been ill, please refrain from coming to the tasting room until you are feeling better.

What you can expect:

• Tastings will be offered table-side only (no bar/counter service) and will feature a pre-selected flight of fantastic wines.  All non-featured wines are available for glass or bottle purchase.
• Occupancy will be limited to 25% capacity. Seating in the tasting room and patio (weather permitting) is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Reservations cannot be accommodated at this time.
• Groups will be limited to six guests or less per table.

Safety guidelines:

• Guests are required to wear masks in all areas of the tasting room (including the patio) unless you are seated at your table.  Unless you are able to show proof a 2 week period after the final required vaccination for COVID-19.
• We ask that you maintain a six foot separation from other individuals and groups not affiliated with your party.  Please do not move between tables.
