Our focus is on high acid, smooth tannin, classically built Pinot noir (and related projects like rosé of Pinot and sparkling Pinot) and a very small quantity of mineral-oriented Chardonnay. We invite you to explore our small family of distinct wines.

Punches above

It’s the bottle you had as a glass pour in Aspen or NYC, bought by the case to open on a Tuesday. Absolute quality, sans price or formality.

Find them at your neighborhood fine wine shop, on your favorite menu, or buy wines direct from the winery.

GLASS

Willamette Valley White Pinot Noir

Think summer patio and a turn-of-the-century dry rosé Champagne with no bubbles. 100% Pinot Noir. $25

PROVOCATEUR

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

In Burgundy, there are those producers whose village-level bottlings eclipse their neighbor’s Premier Cru. Same here. $28

CLARION

Atypical Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Clarion plays as a summer, chill-able red. It blurs the lines, with the color and fruit of a red and the acidity and structure of a white. $26

Flagship wines

These are the wines that built the winery’s reputation. High in acid and sophisticated in style, the nexus of power and grace, they express the story of their vintage year.

Find these wines on the top wine lists in the world, in your wine club box once annually, or in our webstore.

VESPIDAE

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

The original. Our core, at-home, restaurant, and collector bottle. Complex, nuanced, and 10+ years ageable. $48

Bottle of J.K Carriere Lucidité Chardonnay
LUCIDITÉ

Willamette Valley Chardonnay

Exceptional demands the right material grown in the right place. This is. European style, substantial acid, savory, mineral, Chard. $38

Limited bottlings

Limited to the best barrels from specific single-vineyards, these wines are 10-to-20 year hurdlers. Individualistic, they are highly gifted in expressing their “soil and site.”

Available almost exclusively to our wine club, these are rare bottlings each and every year.

ST. DOLORES ESTATE

Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir

The vineyard typicity expresses as both structured and juicy. The estate is named after Jim’s mother and these are the top barrels from the vineyard surrounding the winery. $72

ANTOINETTE

Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

Antoinette, named after the winemaker’s grandmother, comes from grapes grown on the lauded high-elevation Temperance Hill Vineyard and represents as the most elegant of our single vineyard bottlings. $72

GEMINI VINEYARD

Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir

The red nature of Gemini Vineyard fruit is persistent, delivering serious acid, concentrated cherry fruit and opulent texture to this single-vineyard Limited Bottling. $72

Pinnacle of the program

The top. Aged for 5 years, everything in the right place at the right time, nothing extraneous, like the best diamonds, without inclusions. One or two barrels, not every year, and only if exceptional.

Available exclusively direct from the winery.

CUVÉE LOLA

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

The pinnacle. Produced only if exceptional. Aged a minimum of five years. Named after Jim & Allison Prosser’s only daughter Lola. $110

Projects

These are our special, never thrifty, lacking moral turpitude, occasional, long-term, conditions were right, always wanted to do, “Projects”. The “Vanity” is silent.

BLANC DE NOIR

Willamette Valley Sparkling Wine

The finest Methode Champenoise bubbles. Dry and nuanced Pinot Noir (100%). Currently sold out, expected next release 2025. $80

INSUBORDINATION

Willamette Valley 20 Year Dessert Wine

A complex, sweet, shy-of-cloying, 17% fortified dessert wine, fashioned not dissimilar to a tawny port, but in the solera style of an Australian Rutherglen “Sticky.” The nose suggests caramel corn, the palate, Heath bar and rum-raisin on good acid. $48
