We just received the 2022 Bloom's Field Pinot Noir.

Blooms Field is a single vineyard from the extreme edges of Sta. Rita. This place was always considered to be too close to the Pacific to make quality wine. When Raj and Sashi started making wine from here, the response was incredible. Top critics the world over hailed it as one of the greatest Pinot Noirs.

100% whole cluster, fermented in open concrete tanks, indigenous yeast, 12 months elevage in 30% new french oak and farmed organically.

The orange wine is the summer is here ☀

From our friends the 'Of Service' Pinot Gris just hit our shelves. From 40yr old own rooted pinot gris vines in Yamhill-Carlton and Laurelwood District. Both vineyards are owned and operated by women. As the wine gains popularity and momentum is seeking out more own rooted pinot gris vines that are tended to and owned by women.
