SPRING 2026 WINES
2023 Furioso Vineyards Chardonnay
Vintage
2023 saw a cold and wet extended spring, leading to one of the latest budbreak events we have ever seen at both our Dundee and Yamhill estate vineyards. Following budbreak, June was warm and sunny, with only one rain event. July and August followed suit with warm, dry weather, yet we did not see worrisome heatwaves as we had the previous two vintages and sun damage was subsequently minimal. The fruit quality was great, though this was one of the most condensed growing seasons in recent history, with sparkling harvest starting at the end of August, and almost all fruit being brought in by the second week of September before the rain set in.
Intent
We want to emphasize both site and vintage in our Chardonnays. The Furioso Chardonnay is fermented and aged in a majority of neutral French oak that allows more of the fruit and floral characteristics of the chardonnay to be prominent. Aging on lees and a full malolatic fermentation then rounds out the natural acidity of the young vines,

2023 L’Altra Pinot Noir
Vintage:
2023 saw a cold and wet extended spring, leading to one of the latest budbreak events we have ever seen at both our Dundee and Yamhill estate vineyards. Following budbreak, June was warm and sunny, with only one rain event. July and August followed suit with warm, dry weather, yet we did not see worrisome heatwaves as we had the previous two vintages and sun damage was subsequently minimal. The fruit quality was great, though this was one of the most condensed growing seasons in recent history, with sparkling harvest starting at the end of August, and almost all fruit being brought in by the second week of September before the rain set in.
Intent:
Grown from the 20–30 year old self-rooted vines of our Dundee Hills estate vineyard. Comprised of a blend of Pommard and Dijon clone Pinot Noir, the L’Altra is meant to be the quintessential expression of both time and place, giving the best representation of each individual vintage at our Dundee Hills estate vineyard.

2023 La Linea Pinot Noir
Vintage:
2023 saw a cold and wet extended spring, leading to one of the latest budbreak events we have ever seen at both our Dundee and Yamhill estate vineyards. Following budbreak, June was warm and sunny, with only one rain event. July and August followed suit with warm, dry weather, yet we did not see worrisome heatwaves as we had the previous two vintages and sun damage was subsequently minimal. The fruit quality was great, though this was one of the most condensed growing seasons in recent history, with sparkling harvest starting at the end of August, and almost all fruit being brought in by the second week of September before the rain set in.
Tasting Notes:
Our flagship Pinot Noir, La Linea is intended as an intricate and graceful expression of Pinot Noir. This barrel selection is meant to capture the elegance and complexity our long-established Furioso Vineyard in the Dundee Hills can produce. Goji berries mingle with concentrated huckleberries and wisps of pine and forest moss. The palate brings bright and refreshing flavors of sour cherry juice and pink peppercorns presented across juicy acidity and fine but enveloping tannins.

2022 Vincenzo Pinot Noir
Vintage
While budbreak was earlier than average in 2022, the frost event in early April damaged buds emerging from dormancy and slowed down initial growth. Panicking winemakers not only had to worry about the possibility of an unripe crop but also of a small crop. But summer finally arrived, and like winter, it decided to linger in the Willamette Valley longer than usual. Although some sites (like our Dundee estate Furioso Vineyard) reported a low yield, our Trovato Vineyard in Yamhill (higher elevation and a cooler macroclimate meant later budbreak) produced a bumper crop. In fact, 2022 was our biggest harvest at Furioso ever, with 89 tons! The warm and sunny October days allowed our fruit to achieve their full ripeness and all the grapes were safely in the winery before rain finally arrived third week of October.
Intent
Named after both Giorgio’s father and grandfather, Vincenzo is a barrel select meant to showcase the structure and power the Dundee Hills can produce. We over-vintaged this four barrel select, compromising mainly of new French oak that focused on sweet oak characteristics and ageable structure.

2025 Tocai Friulano
Vintage
2025 was more skewed to the accelerated and dry growing seasons we’ve come to witness in the past 10 years in Oregon. Pruning was straightforward and quick due to an unusually dry January. The following months between pruning and budbreak remained cool and wet leading to a more average budbreak the second week in April. Shoots stayed at a moderate growth rate up until flowering, which occurred around the 10th of June at Trovato, our Yamhill vineyard. With plentiful spring rain and warm to hot temperatures, berry and canopy development progressed rapidly through lag and veraison. While we saw lower than average cluster weight at Trovato, largely due to the rains during May of the previous year, fruit quality remained excellent and disease free. Heat at the end of August pushed sugar ripeness and we began picking sparkling grapes August 28th and completed our last pick in Yamhill-Carlton September 19th. 2025 will be remembered as a short, early and condense harvest that kept us on our toes, but we believe it is a quality harvest representative of our changing landscape.
Intent
As Tocai Friulano can be very vintage specific, we want to show case each year in its unique light with minimal winemaking process. We stop malolactic fermentation right after primary to keep its bright acid component. Fermented and aged on lees for four months in neutral French oak. This allows for some oxygen impact and a rounding of the pallet, while still letting the acid and fruit flavors be present.

Winter 2026 Wines
2022 Pietro Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes:
Sourced from multiple blocks of Pinot Noir throughout Trovato Vineyard, representing a diverse array of clones, our Pietro Pinot Noir highlights the power and tension of our Yamhill-Carlton estate. The nose is densely perfumed with aromas of black cherry, dried blueberry, and Oolong tea, followed by high toned layers of eucalyptus, olive, and potpourri. The palate offers more red fruit in the form of red apple, dried cranberry, and rose. A structured finish rounds out this powerful wine with notes of slate and blackberry, plus prolific chalky tannins.

2023 Pietro Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes:
Sourced from multiple blocks of Pinot Noir throughout Trovato Vineyard, representing a diverse array of clones, our Pietro Pinot Noir highlights the power and tension of our Yamhill-Carlton estate. The nose is a fragrant dance of vibrant orange peel and delicate rose petal, balanced by a warm, inviting hint of five-spice. The complexity builds with subtle earthy undertones, offering a glimpse of what’s to come. On the palate, this Pinot Noir unfolds with bright pie cherry and lively red currant, layers of fruit that are both fresh and slightly tart. Beneath the fruit, a touch of savory tomato adds depth and intrigue, creating a well-rounded profile. The finish is rustic and slightly mineral, with a chalky texture and firm, grippy tannins that give it structure and a certain rugged charm.

2022 Gina Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes:
Named for Giorgio’s aunt Gina, a close relative who, along with his mother, gave him a fond appreciation for food and family gatherings. A barrel selection from our Yamhill-Carlton estate, this Pinot Noir fills your glass with warm aromas of toasted mushroom, ripe dark plums, orange zest, and black pepper. The palate is similarly lush: flavors of fig, currant, and mint work together harmoniously, while prickly tannins and integrated acidity round out the finish.

2022 La Famiglia Pinot Noir (Parenti & Padrini Exclusive)
Tasting Notes:
Beginning in the spectacular 2017 vintage, we hand selected a singular barrel to bottle as our inaugural ‘La Famiglia’ – creating a wine that has always been, and will continue to be, a club exclusive wine. Our Famiglia has grown over the years, and what was once a single barrel bottling is now a cuvée representing four of our favorite barrels. As it turns out, the Trovato Vineyard was tasting excellent in 2022, so for the first time ever our La Famiglia is from Trovato in 2022!
Light ruby with subtle brick hues, this Pinot opens with aromas of red cherry and pomegranate layered with notes of orchard honey, tea leaf, and a gentle touch of oak. The palate is elegant and bright, showing lively acidity and a lightly grippy, dry tannin structure that remains mouthwatering. Flavors of cranberry, cherrywood, and baking spice unfold into hints of chai tea and cream, giving the wine an intriguing sense of depth and early evolution. A cool, expressive Pinot with both finesse and character.

Tasting Notes:

Our Famiglia has grown over the years, and what was once a single barrel bottling is now a cuvée representing four of our favorite barrels.
Light brick in color, this youthful Pinot shows a brighter, more assertive profile characteristic of the vintage. Aromas of plum and dark cherry are layered with notes of orange peel, black tea, and cola. The palate is fleshy yet structured, with chalky, slightly astringent tannins and lively acidity that benefit from air. A dry hay note lingers on the finish, adding complexity and texture. This wine rewards decanting and continued exploration as it opens, revealing increasing depth and balance over time.

Fall 2025 Wines
2022 Spirito Brut Rose
Our inaugural méthode champenoise release was the 2017 Spirito Brut Rosé. We have since expanded our sparkling portfolio but have not released a secondary vintage of the Brut Rosé, until now!
Welcome the 2022 Spirito Brut Rose. With over two years en tirage this release is a lively, fruit-forward sparkling wine consisting of 75% Pinot Noir, 18% Pinot Meunier, and 7% Chardonnay, all estate grown. With only 1 g/L dosage, these are energetic, well-balanced bubbles. Celebration in a bottle – this wine is perfect for end of year festivities!
Drink 2025-2035 | 13.5% abv | 398 cases produced | 20 months en tirage
2022 Trovato Vineyard Chardonnay
Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and expressive grape varieties in the world, offering a fascinating spectrum of styles that make it endlessly intriguing to taste and discuss. From crisp, mineral-driven expressions with bright acidity and citrus notes, to rich, creamy versions layered with vanilla, toast, and ripe stone fruit, Chardonnay reflects not only its terroir but also the winemaker’s hand. Each bottle invites conversation – and showcases just how dynamic and complex this classic varietal can be.
Here at Furioso we embrace a more Burgundian approach to Chardonnay – neutral barrel fermentation and aging, to ensure that the fruit profile remains the star. Supported by a soft creaminess, this expression of Chardonnay is classic and approachable – perfect for both collectors and those newer to the grape. A new release, and one that will go wonderfully with Autumn dinners!
Drink 2025-2030 | 13.2% abv | 282 cases produced | whole-cluster pressed, native fermentation, 10 months in neutral french oak
2022 Anna Pinot Noir
Rarely poured in the tasting room, yet unforgettable every time it is – the Anna holds a quiet, powerful place in our portfolio. Year after year, it stands as our most collectible and age-worthy Pinot Noir.
Named in honor of Giorgio’s mother, Anna Trovato, this wine is a deeply personal expression – an homage to legacy, resilience, and the bonds of Famiglia. While most of our Pinot Noir rest for 9 months in barrel, the Anna is aged for a full 18 months, a patient process that imparts remarkable depth, structure, and complexity. The result is a Pinot Noir of rare grace: silky, nuanced, and cellar-worthy, with layers that unfold slowly over time.
Elegant yet powerful, the 2022 Anna is a wine meant for life’s meaningful moments—to be opened not just when the occasion calls for something special, but when it creates the occasion itself. From our Famiglia to yours, this is a bottle to be treasured.
Drink 2025-2035 | 13.9% | 100 cases produced | 18 months in 50% new French oak, 50% neutral French oak
2021 Pietro Pinot Noir
As we welcome new vintages into the spotlight, it’s time to begin saying goodbye to the 2021s – and only one remains before the vintage moves fully into our library.
Introducing the final encore: our 2021 Pietro Pinot Noir. Not only the highest-production wine of the vintage, but also the undisputed favorite Pinot Noir among our guests over the past year. No other Pinot has garnered as much admiration or consistent praise in the tasting room. Bold, expressive, and full of character, the Pietro captured hearts – and palates – like no other.
We’re offering this wine one last time to our Famiglia before it becomes a cherished part of our library collection. It’s a celebratory bottle, a final toast to a standout vintage, and a perfect pairing for your holiday table – we’ll be pouring it proudly with the main course at Thanksgiving.
Raise a glass to the 2021 Pietro Pinot Noir – one of our most beloved wines to date, and one that truly deserves to be remembered.
Drink 2023-2031 | 13.9% | 1,165 cases produced | 100% destemmed fruit, bottled unfined and unfiltered | Aged 10 months in 25% new French oak, 75% neutral French oak
2022 La Linea Pinot Noir (Parenti & Padrini Exclusive)
Crafted with precision and passion, the 2022 La Linea Pinot Noir from Furioso Vineyards represents the pinnacle of the estate’s winemaking philosophy. Sourced from select blocks of the Dundee Hills estate vineyard, this flagship wine captures the elegance, complexity, and depth that define the region’s finest expressions of Pinot Noir. The 2022 vintage reflects a harmonious growing season, allowing for optimal ripening and phenolic development, resulting in a wine that’s both vibrant and deeply layered.
Exclusively allocated to members of the Parenti and Padrini tiers of Furioso’s wine club, the La Linea Pinot Noir is a collector’s gem and a testament to the artistry of winemaker Dominique Mahé. The 2022 La Linea is more than a wine – it’s an invitation to experience the soul of Furioso at its most refined.
Drink 2025-2032 | 13.0% abv | 100 cases produced | 100% destemmed, unfined and unfiltered, aged 10 months in 20% new french oak, 80% neutral
2022 L’Altra Pinot Noir (Parenti & Padrini Exclusive)
The 2022 L’Altra is a bold and captivating expression of Pinot Noir that stands in dynamic contrast to its sibling, La Linea. While still grounded in Furioso Vineyards’ Dundee Hills estate fruit, L’Altra showcases a darker, more brooding personality – marked by a richer palate and deeper tannic structure. Aged in a thoughtful selection of new and neutral French oak, this wine is at once powerful and poised, offering a strikingly modern interpretation of the varietal.
Reserved exclusively for Parenti and Padrini tier members in the Fall 2025 allocation, the 2022 L’Altra is a study in contrast and complementarity. It stands as a compelling counterpoint to La Linea – further enriching the narrative of Pinot Noir at Furioso. With limited production, L’Altra is as rare as it is expressive, making it an essential addition to any serious collection and a conversation piece for those who appreciate Pinot Noir’s full spectrum of character.

Spring 2025 Wines
2024 Melon de Bourgogne
Considered by our winemaker, Dominique, to be the best vintage of this wine yet!
Produced in the traditional way of Muscadet in the Loire Valley, the grapes are gently pressed, and the juice is fermented at a cool temperature in 100% stainless steel tank. The wine is left on lees for a couple of months where it is prevented from going through malo-lactic fermentation to preserve the natural acidity of the fruit.Promptly bottled early spring, it is ready to excite your palate on those first warm days of the year, alluding to the summer to come.
The 2024 Melon begins with incredible ripeness of intense peach and melon with wisps of green apples and tropical fruit. The palate displays a bright acidity gently balanced by a silky mid palate, as the intricate flavors of grapefruit and clover honey carry on to a gratifying finish.
Drink 2025-2026 | 12.9% abv | 289 cases produced | 5 months in stainless steel, sur lie
2024 Verdante
From the bountiful 2024 vintage, roughly 60% of our estate grown Tocai Friulano crop went into our still Friulano, while the remaining 40% went into a wine that we have been dreaming up since our first Friulano harvest. This is our second iteration of our Verdante, and a truly unique offering that no other winery in the Willamette Valley makes: an off-dry, sparkling Tocai Friulano.
Perfect for poolside sipping, this off-dry, sparkling party in a bottle boasts lush aromatics of fresh herbs, green grass, and papaya, balanced by zesty lime, lychee, and a touch of sweetness. With fine bubbles and a refreshing finish, it’s the perfect companion for a slice of key lime pie.
Drink 2025-2026 | 12% abv | 110 cases produced | stainless steel fermentation, force carbonation
2019 La Linea Pinot Noir
As new vintages are premiered, so must prior vintages be sent to the library. All of our wines from 2019 are almost fully gone, save the one we held back just for this occasion. A fond farewell to a phenomenal cold-weather year, and we are sending off the 2019’s with one of the all-time greats. The 2019 La Linea is a brilliantly refreshing expression of our old vine Dundee Hills estate. Earthy dark cherries, stewed strawberries, and potter’s clay lead into a layered palate of blueberry, fresh rosemary, and bitter orange, with enveloping tannins and balanced acidity.
This is a classic Dundee Hills Pinot Noir, from a classic Oregon vintage.
Drink 2024-2033 | 12.5% | 251 cases produced | 10 months in 25% new French oak, 75% neutral French oak
2022 Gina Pinot Noir
Named for Giorgio’s aunt Gina, a close relative who, along with his mother, gave him a fond appreciation for food and family gatherings.
A barrel selection from our Yamhill-Carlton estate, this Pinot Noir fills your glass with warm aromas of toasted mushroom, ripe dark plums, orange zest, and black pepper.
The palate is similarly lush: flavors of fig, currant, and mint work together harmoniously, while prickly tannins and integrated acidity round out the finish.
One of the bedrocks of our Pinot Noir lineup, year after year
Drink 2024-2032 | 13.9% | 350 cases produced | 100% destemmed fruit, bottled unfined and unfiltered | Aged 10 months in 10% new French oak, 20% one year old French oak barrels, and 70% neutral French oak
2024 White Pinot Noir (Parenti & Padrini Exclusive)
After being debuted in the 2024 Spring shipment and selling out immediately, we knew that the White Pinot Noir was going to be a yearly hit.
This year, we have made this wine exclusive to the Parenti and Padrini tier shipment, with the intent of being able to hold on to it for a little while longer.
The return of our White Pinot is delightfully rich, with aromas of sage, saffron, and crushed blueberries. The palate is equally joyful, evoking peach white tea and featuring zingy flavors of lime pulp, peach skin and wildflowers.
Drink 2025-2027 | 13.6% abv | 99 cases produced | Direct press Pinot Noir, Aged 5 months in 1/3 neutral French oak, 2/3 stainless steel
2024 Pinot Meunier (Parenti & Padrini Exclusive)
A brand new wine to the Furioso lineup, in its inaugural vintage, our 2024 Pinot Meunier is everything we had hoped it would be.
A wine that is typically blended, we wanted to give it a platform to shine on its own, and shine it does.
Perfect ever so slightly chilled to highlight the bright fruit, this wine invites you in with aromas of rose, lavender, and blueberry cordial. There is an abundance of tart red raspberries and cherries on the palate that is carried into a finish of baking spices with a dash of saffron. A fresh, light, vibrant red wine to accompany your summertime picnics.
Drink 2025-2027 | 13.7% abv | 75 cases produced | stainless steel fermentation
Winter 2025 Wines
2023 Rosé Frizzanté
We started making sparkling wines in 2017, with a Brut Rosé, followed two years later by a Blanc de Blanc and Blanc de Noir. While methode champenoise has been the cornerstone of our sparkling program, it is a practice in patience and takes a minimum of 3 years before they are ready to be released. Enter frizzante! A delightful, gently sparkling wine to be enjoyed young, while we await the long term aging of our methode champenoise wines.
Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, we picked and pressed the fruit early to retain a delicate rose hue, graceful red fruit notes, and refreshing acidity. The wine opens with notes of rainier cherries, fresh roses, and lime leaf. The palate offers flavors of raspberry and tangerine, soft bubbles, and just a touch of sweetness balanced by its ample acidity.
Drink 2023-2025 | 12.9% | 230 cases produced | Force Carbonated
2019 Pietro Pinot Noir
This is our second release of this wine from the Trovato Vineyard, our estate property in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. This Pinot Noir is a blend of multiple blocks throughout vineyard, representing a diversity of clones – from the classic Pommard and Dijon clones, to newly selected cultivars such as Mt. Eden and Wädenswil. The diversity of Pinot Noir clones used creates a complex wine which is stylistically different from the Pinot Noirs produced on our estate Furioso Vineyard in Dundee.
On the nose, this wine has hints of black cherry, graphite, and tarragon, as befits Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir. In the mouth, elements of cranberry and orange evoke thoughts of fresh-caught grilled Pacific Northwest salmon. As with all Furioso wines, this bottle was made to be cellared and will continue to evolve in the bottle for up to 10 years.
Drink 2022-2033 | 13.2% | 1028 cases produced | 10 months in 25% new French oak, 75% neutral French oak
2021 Pietro Pinot Noir
The 2021 vintage gave us a long, warmer than average summer – resulting in exceedingly friendly, ripe fruited Pinot Noirs. Though still young, the 2021 Pietro already offers an aromatic nose and textured palate to match.

The palate offers a pleasant viscosity, some lean minerality, and plenty of finesse and balance.

2021 La Famiglia Pinot Noir
Beginning in the spectacular 2017 vintage, we hand selected a singular barrel to bottle as our inaugural ‘La Famiglia’ – creating a wine that has always been, and will continue to be, a club exclusive wine. Our Famiglia has grown over the years, and what was once a single barrel bottling is now a cuvée representing four of our favorite barrels.

2019 Anna Pinot Noir
This small, seven-barrel cuvée, named in honor of proprietor Giorgio Furioso’s mother, is meant to represent the more structured side of our Trovato Vineyard in Yamhill. This wine is 100% free-run juice and was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, 40% new and 60% one-year old – resulting in a bolder, more complex wine. On the nose the wine displays aromas of blueberry, pomegranate, hay and bay leaf. To accompany this are whiffs of dusty spice, dried rose, and jasmine-green tea. In the mouth, Anna offers broad, chalky tannins plus flavors of cranberry and sour cherry. The juicy structure builds up to a dry finish, with lingering hints of black tea and red apple.
96, Intl Wine Report – “The 2019 Anna Pinot Noir from Furioso is a seven-barrel cuvée named in honor of the owner’s mother, Anna.

2019 Pietro Pinot Noir
This is our second release of this wine from the Trovato Vineyard, our estate property in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. This Pinot Noir is a blend of multiple blocks throughout vineyard, representing a diversity of clones – from the classic Pommard and Dijon clones, to newly selected cultivars such as Mt. Eden and Wädenswil. The diversity of Pinot Noir clones used creates a complex wine which is stylistically different from the Pinot Noirs produced on our estate Furioso Vineyard in Dundee.
On the nose, this wine has hints of black cherry, graphite, and tarragon, as befits Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir. In the mouth, elements of cranberry and orange evoke thoughts of fresh-caught grilled Pacific Northwest salmon. As with all Furioso wines, this bottle was made to be cellared and will continue to evolve in the bottle for up to 10 years.

A true cherry color in glass, the 2019 iteration of our L’Altra is ripe with notes of juicy Italian plums, cranberry sauce, and hints of tangerine. Following its fruity beginnings then, is a more rustic backbone of woodsy cedar and fresh rosemary. While young, the palate shows off a wonderfully pure expression of fruit, though never cloying – its notes of luscious rainier cherries, blueberry, and soft cinnamon are livened by a powerful acidity and evolving yet vibrant finish. Representative of its cooler vintage, the 2019 L’Altra demonstrates tremendous ageability and we recommend drinking now through 2030.

Fall 2023 Wines
2022 Tocai Friulano
The 2022 vintage of Tocai Friulano is a fresh spring breeze in liquid form. The glass opens with bright aromas of kiwi, fresh grass, and gooseberry, reminding us of Sauvignon Blanc (the Friulano grape, also known as Sauvignon Vert, was historically mistaken as Sauvignon Blanc, despite no varietal relation). In place of Sauvignon Blanc’s intense and riper-fruited flavors, our Friulano offers more delicate, floral-tinged notes and a more rounded, lush mouthfeel. The palate brings starfruit, tangerine, and slate, with a very dry but mouth watering finish. It’s a wine that promises to pair as harmoniously with summer picnic fare as it will with a winter holiday feast.

Honey-almond meal and honeycomb add a sweet, inviting allure, while lime zest, pomelo, and apricot add freshness and even more layers of complexity.
On the palate, dandelion and golden delicious apples dance with yellow pear, bright acidity, and a full body. The wine’s elegant texture and mineral-saline finish give it a sophisticated touch, finishing with more structured notes of acacia and meringue that evolve luxuriously.

You’ll catch a whiff of fresh roses, fruit leather, and a subtle undertone of birch tree.
On the palate, there’s a zesty combo of orange peel, wild blackberry, and cherry cola with a dash of sweet spice. The body is lush and velvety, characteristic of its warmer vintage, while the lasting acidity manages to keep the experience bright and fresh.

On the palate, stemmy tannins provide structure, while black olives, black currants, and a finishing note of choke cherry add layers of complexity. This wine is a well-balanced masterpiece, with each sip unveiling a new dimension of flavor to savor.

The 2021 Wadenswil Pinot Noir offers a unique and intriguing bouquet, characteristic of the Wadenswil clone of Pinot Noir. The nose introduces vibrant notes of blood orange and sanguine elements, alongside a heady allure of crushed herbs and cured olives. Hints of licorice, white pepper, and the sweetness of blackberry and stewed strawberry create a harmoniously complex symphony.
On the palate, this wine continues to captivate, showcasing the unique character of the clone through the lens of Trovato Vineyard’s inherent terroir. Mulberry takes the lead, joined by the earthy essence of humus and the subtle kick of black pepper.

2022 Rosé Frizzanté
We started making sparkling wines in 2017, with a Brut Rosé, followed two years later by a Blanc de Blanc and Blanc de Noir. While methode champenoise has been the cornerstone of our sparkling program, it is a practice in patience and takes a minimum of 3 years before they are ready to be released. Enter frizzante! A delightful, gently sparkling wine to be enjoyed young, while we await the long term aging of our methode champenoise wines. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, we picked and pressed the fruit early to retain a delicate rose hue, graceful red fruit notes, and refreshing acidity. The wine opens with notes of rainier cherries, fresh roses, and lime leaf. The palate offers flavors of raspberry and tangerine, soft bubbles, and just a touch of sweetness balanced by its ample acidity.

We produced a Melon de Bourgogne for the first time in 2021, after happening upon an opportunity to purchase fruit from Golden Leaf Vineyard in southern Oregon’s beautiful Umpqua Valley. We jumped at the chance to work with this Loire Valley varietal, loved the resulting wine, and are happy to bring it back for another vintage! A slightly cooler year than 2021, the 2022 iteration of this wine brings a host of green fruits. The glass is brimming with granny smith apple, lime zest, honeydew, and pear. While fruit forward, the Melon also brings an element of salinity, akin to oyster shell or sea breeze. Flavors of pineapple, lime curd, and kumquat round out a bright and juicy palate. Its lean and energetic acidity promises to pair well with seafood and shellfish of all kinds.

Consistently our most delicate bottling, the 2021 version of La Linea does not deviate, despite the record breaking heat of the 2021 vintage. A blend of 75% Pommard Clone, 25% Dijon 115 – the nose is full of notes of sour cherry and italian plums, complemented by hints of violets, fresh nutmeg, and dried ginger. While the wine calls for another few years to fully express itself, the palate is already presenting a bouquet of very pretty and graceful flavors.

2019 Piano Piano Chardonnay
A bright, crystalline lemon in the glass, this second edition of our over-vintaged Chardonnay is here to prove what extra patience and time in barrel can do for this noble grape. For this reserve wine, we start by selecting four neutral oak barrels of Trovato Vineyard Chardonnay and then allow them to age longer than our traditional Chardonnay: 18 months instead of 10. The result is a stunningly complex wine that still maintains plenty of vibrancy. The nose offers an alluring bouquet of lime flower, white peach, and crisp asian pear, followed by some more mature aromas of honeysuckle, granite, and custard. The palate is equally complex – delivering walnut, honey, and lemon tart. There’s a lasting and fresh lemon-lime finish, supported by captivating acidity.

We also included the use of a unique new barrel made of 50% French oak staves and 50% acacia wood staves. The result will be obvious to those of you familiar to our previous Chardonnay releases.
Aromatically, the wine is bursting with aromas of toasted bread and vanilla, but also Asian pear and notes of lime peel. In the mouth, it displays a great minerality with an elegant and seamless structure.

The brilliantly refreshing 2019 La Linea is the flagship wine from our old-vine Dundee Hills estate vineyard. Bright notes of ripe red cherries, nutmeg, and orange zest fill your glass. The palate brings cranberry, tart blueberry, and hints of clay. With a powerful and mouth-watering acidity, we recommend drinking 2024-2031, or decanting in its youth.

12.5 % abv | 10 months in 75% neutral, 25% new French oak barrels | 251 cases produced
2019 Vincenzo Pinot Noir
A quintessential expression of the Dundee Hills, with aromas of black cherry, strawberry, and balsa wood. The palate is generous, offering rich black plum, fresh sage, and eucalyptus. True to its vintage, the tannins are firm and there is ample acidity. A powerful wine, from a classic Oregon vintage, this will continue to evolve beautifully over the course of the next 10 years.
Drink 2024-2033 | Pair with Lamb & Pork Ragu | 12.5% abv | 100% Free run juice, 10 months in 60% neutral, 40% new French oak barrels | 126 cases produced
2019 L’Altra Pinot Noir
A true cherry color in glass, the 2019 iteration of our L’Altra is ripe with notes of juicy Italian plums, cranberry sauce, and hints of tangerine. Following its fruity beginnings then, is a more rustic backbone of woodsy cedar and fresh rosemary. While young, the palate shows off a wonderfully pure expression of fruit, though never cloying – its notes of luscious rainier cherries, blueberry, and soft cinnamon are livened by a powerful acidity and evolving yet vibrant finish. Representative of its cooler vintage, the 2019 L’Altra demonstrates tremendous ageability and we recommend drinking now through 2030.

2022 Vintage Reflections from Dom
Winter fell in love with Oregon in 2022, and seemed to never want to let go. The frost event in early April damaged buds emerging from dormancy and created chaos in the vineyard. Panicking winemakers not only had to worry about the possibility of an unripe crop but also of a small crop. But summer finally arrived, and like winter, it decided to linger in the Willamette Valley longer than usual. Although some sites (like our Dundee estate Furioso Vineyard) reported a low yield, our Trovato Vineyard in Yamhill (higher elevation and a cooler macroclimate meant later budbreak) produced a bumper crop. In fact, 2022 was our biggest harvest at Furioso ever, with 89 tons! The warm and sunny October days allowed our fruit to achieve their full ripeness and all the grapes were safely in the winery before rain finally arrived third week of October.
Fast forwarding over the long days of harvest cellar work with its endless series of pump-overs, punch-down, pressing and barreling down, and here we are now entering a new spring, and a new growing season.
Some of our 2022 wines are already in the bottle (some of them even making their way to your cellar as we speak!) but our Chardonnays and Pinots are still tucked away, enjoying a few more months in barrel before being bottled this August. In February, we bottled the next generation of our sparkling program: 2022 Brut Rosé and Blanc de Blanc. You won’t see these released until at least 2025, but rest assured it will be worth the wait.
Tasting our 2022 wines in barrel, I am impressed with the quality of a vintage which was originally deemed as challenging. I am seeing lots of similarities with 2021: the Pinots are showing rich opulent fruit, and the Chardonnays are vibrant with riper aromatics. Like 2021, it will certainly be a vintage that can be enjoyed in its youth.
As for 2023, the vines right now are still dormant; and that is a good thing as the weather forecast is still reporting nearly freezing temperatures (feels like a repeat of 2022 in a way). Please spare a thought for our Viticulturist Shea and Cellar Master Alex who will be battling those wintery conditions to finish tying-down the canes this week.
And finally, we hope you love this selection of newly released wines! The frizzanté is the newest addition to our portfolio, made in the style of prosecco rosé, intended to be lightly sparkling and enjoyed this year. While we recommend another couple years of aging (at least) for the 2019 Vincenzo and 2021 La Linea, we find that the Melon, Gina, and Pietro are all drinking wonderfully now. And if you’re asking yourself, “what happened to Friulano?” or, “I hope they made rosé this year!” – fret not. They will be released later this spring, after a bit more time in bottle, and our Famiglia will be the first to know.
Thank You, as always, for your continued support,

Fall 2022 Wines
2020 Trovato Vineyard Chardonnay
Picked early from our Yamhill-Carlton estate in order to retain acidity, moderate alcohol, and restrained fruit, we present the 2020 iteration of our Trovato Chardonnay. Aromas of lemon meringue and green pear are supplemented by delicate floral notes of chamomile and lilac. The palate is endlessly fresh, offering juicy lime pulp and a lasting acid-driven finish.

12.5 % abv | 10 months in 95% neutral, 5% new French oak barrels | 642 cases produced
2020 Piano Piano Chardonnay
The Piano Piano Chardonnay: Trovato Chardonnay’s counterpart! Born of the same lot of wine, we separate out four barrels and allow the wine to remain in barrel almost twice as long. 18 months in barrel gives this wine more secondary notes in comparison to the more fruit-driven Trovato Chardonnay. Blanched almond, coconut, and dried grass accompany assorted citrus and green apple. The palate is full bodied with flavors of vanilla, lemon, and creme brulee, while retaining elegant texture and a balanced tangy finish.

2019 Block 10 Pinot Noir
Sourced from a single three-acre block of Pommard clone Pinot Noir, the Block 10 is a pure example of why Pommard is the most widely plant clone in Oregon! Respected for good color, intense fruit, notable spice and a luxurious mouthfeel, this wine fills your glass with notes of black cherry, plum, and cinnamon stick. Lifted aromas of river rocks and cedarwood. The palate gives even more plum, plus tart cherry, sweet baking spice, and rose petal. This unique and undeniably pretty wine balances fine grained tannins with refreshing acidity, and a lengthy anise-tinged finish.
Drink now through 2031 | Pair with Five-Spice Duck Breast and Blackberries
13.3 % abv | 10 months in 60% neutral, 20% two-year, 20% one year old French oak barrels | 100% destemmed, native fermentation, 100% Free-Run juice, unfined | 151 cases produced
2020 Block 10 Pinot Noir
Our three-acre block of one of the first Pinot Noir clones planted in Oregon (Pommard) produces a wine of extreme finesse and delicacy. The hot 2020 vintage has given us a much more rustic expression of this clone in comparison to the cool 2019 vintage. Opening with dark cherries and pomegranate the nose also offers herbacious tones of savoury and tarragon, plus fresh wood chips and mesquite. Its palate presents more pomegranate, plus mouth coating tannins, and a savory and dry finish.
Drink now through 2024 | Pair with a classic Beef Bourguignon

2019 Wadenswil Pinot Noir
Our two acre block of one of the original Pinot Noir clones planted in the Willamette Valley produces a generous wine of remarkable complexity! This 2019 Wadenswil is the inaugural offering of this single-clone bottling. Filling your glass with mixed berries (blueberry, cranberry, black currant) and perfumed notes of citrus black tea. The fruit here is lush and juicy, balanced by intriguing aromas of red apple sin and graphite. In the mouth you’ll find more juicy, mixed-berry flavors, moderate acidity, silky tannins, and a lifted finish.
Drink now through 2031 | Pair with a Pasta with Turkish-style Lamb & Eggplant
13.2 % abv | 10 months in 50% neutral, 30% two-year, 20% one year old French oak barrels | 100% destemmed, native fermentation, 100% Free-Run juice, unfined | 151 cases produced
2020 Wadenswil Pinot Noir
The 2020 iteration of our Wadenswil Pinot Noir is heartier and more robust than its 2019 counterpart – as befits the warmer vintage. Blackberry and blueberry are accompanied by lifted herbal tones of eucalyptus and rosemary. As with many of the wines from our Yamhill-Carlton estate, the 2020 Wadenswil also exhibits pronounced minerality – like crushed granite. The mouthfeel here is lush and full, and the tannins are accordingly bold yet sweet.
Drink now through 2024 | Pair with a classic roast lamb chop with rosemary & garlic
13.9 % abv | 10 months in one year old French oak barrels | 100% destemmed, native fermentation, 100% Free-Run juice, unfined | 100 cases produced
2019 L’Altra Pinot Noir
*Red’s Only Members*
A true cherry color in glass, the 2019 iteration of our L’Altra is ripe with notes of juicy Italian plums, cranberry sauce, and hints of tangerine. Following its fruity beginnings then, is a more rustic backbone of woodsy cedar and fresh rosemary. While young, the palate shows off a wonderfully pure expression of fruit, though never cloying – its notes of luscious rainier cherries, blueberry, and soft cinnamon are livened by a powerful acidity and evolving yet vibrant finish. This wine would find a happy home next to a cedar plank salmon, or a lavish spread of Mediterranean dishes. Representative of its cooler vintage, the 2019 L’Altra demonstrates tremendous ageability.
Drink now through 2030.

2018 L’Altra Pinot Noir
*Red’s Only Members*
On the nose, this 60% Pommard, 40% Dijon clones Pinot displays fresh aromas of cranberry, crushed strawberries, and hints of violet. Bright and vibrant in the mouth, the finish brings an extra layer of dusty spice, while the fine, dry tannins will make your taste buds salivate. Graceful while stern, this wine is a classic example of a Dundee Hills Pinot Noir.
