The Chehalem Mountains in the Northern Willamette Valley is home to spectacular farmers and individuals. This wine came from grapes grown by a mountain man whose love for life and the outdoors is legendary. Our good friend John Reger exemplified rugged individualism and a get-r-done mentality. If something needed to get done he was your man.
The wine from his vineyard speaks of minerals and earth – juicy fruit flavors with plenty of brightness. Not burdened with oak and other nonsense – this wine is clean and just what the doctor ordered after a long day in the fields.
