Newberg, Oregon, since 2001 Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge

Farmers first.Then winemakers.

Great Pinot Noir is decided in the vineyard long before it reaches the cellar. We keep a tradition that began on this hill in 1980, and we are in the vineyard for every step of it.

In the vines

Old vines planted in 1980 and grafted to Pommard in 1998. West Wind adds five clones: Pommard, Wädenswil, 115, 943 and 777. Both vineyards are farmed organically.

By hand

We work alongside our farming crew, in the rows all season. Every vine passes through our hands, from pruning to harvest.

At harvest

Piper picks when sugar and acidity come into balance, not by the calendar.

In the cellar

Destemmed, fermented gently and aged in French oak. The same method every year, so the site and the vintage do the talking.

Two small vineyards, one way of farming.
