- “200 million years of tectonic plate subduction and 15 million years of volcanic activity have shaped the state of Oregon and its Willamette Valley into the place we know and love today. Our new AVA series wines were inspired by these colossal geological events and the influence it has on our soil, mother rock and the resulting aromas and flavors in the wine. We created two bottlings that hails from the highest quality vineyards in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA and Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Tasting Notes: Blackberry, black cherry and candied raspberry with notes of cocoa nibs and caramel. Finishes with firm but velvety tannins. Parent Material: Volcanic. Soil Series: Jory & Nekia”
