2021 PET SOUNDS Pet-Nat | Regularly $28, Today $26

So delicious. Bright and zippy.

2021 Mermaid Cafe

Buy Mermaid Cafe

2021 2021 MERMAID CAFE Pinot Noir | Regularly $42, Today $40

Our best wine: Treat yo self. Named after Joni Mitchell’s song Carey,  Mermaid Cafe evokes the joy of coming back to the world after some hard knocks. The last 2 vintages have been brutal as a farmer and winemaker- so when I find a moment (or wine or song) that transports me away from that- it's like magic. This is the kind of wine that makes me stop and remember the gift that being alive can be.

4 barrels made.

2021 LBJ

Buy LBJ

2021 LBJ Pinot Noir | Regularly $38, Today $36

-Elegant and juicy, firm and fun. 

This is my first full LBJ from Hollow Oak. She’s a mix of the 4 clones planted (Pommard, 115,114) with a decent pop of carbonic stainless steel fermented 667 to lighten the load.


Drink now but worth hanging onto and drinking through the winter and 2023. She has more traditional fermentation (punchdowns, partial de-stemming) and is shyly coming back into herself after tasting phenomenal at bottling.

Picker's Red (***bonus wine!** )

Buy Picker's

**Bonus Mailing list Wine- 2021 Picker’s Red $22 

Bottled for the Harvest crew and people that read to the bottom of

e-mails.

This little light red came into being when I had a partial barrel that I *thought* was only 3-5 gallons short of full. Turns out it was 15 gallons short and when I topped with rosé- the resulting wine is super light and super fun, high toned and verrrry easy to drink! 

*******Limit 2 per person outside of Portland.  

Only 6ppm S02 post-malolactic

Vineyard

 

These wines come from the lovely 6 acre vineyard in Wilsonville that I long-term lease and farm. 

 

The site- Hollow Oak Acres- is perched at 600ft in the Chehalem Mountains of the Willamette Valley. Owned by Jerry and Pam Drake and it has been a huge boon to farm these last 3 years. It is life-changing to be at a place where I can enact progressive farming ideas and then see them play out.
 

Hollow Oak is an incredible site, located on the Parrett Mountain homoline—a geologic phenomenon that creates ideal soil conditions to grow grapes organically without tilling. 

 

In 2021, mother nature cooperated with some very much needed late spring rain. We got over an inch right before our June heat waves which - combined with excellent timing in mowing- provided a mulch cover that left the vines miraculously untouched in the heat. 

 

 The warm fall that followed allowed us to pick grapes in early September at perfect ripeness—delivering wines that have the vibrancy and brightness I’m looking for. 
 

For this release, I’m offering three different interpretations of this lovely vineyard—as I understand the different techniques- partial stems and percentage of carbonic and learn how they impart the characteristics of this very special place.
 

All orders over 6 bottles will receive free shipping- and case sales get an additional 10% off. 

 

Local (PDX+ Willamette) delivery is included on purchases of 3 bottles, as well.
