This well-priced wine has serious stuffing. With some old vine Pinot and half of it estate sourced, with two sites in the Eola-Amity, Yamhill Carlton and Merten Vineyard towards the coast, lots of 35-year-old fruit. The Tavola is a gateway wine to the Willamette Valley; it’s lovely, dark-fruited, and remains elegant and silken. Produced in the same approach as the top Ponzi wines, with less time in barrel and less new oak. An intentional approach to quality at a fantastic price. With fruit sourcing of this calibre, it's a can't-miss wine.

A valley-wide blend of grapes that gives a vibrant, fresh and bright sense of red fruit, balanced by raspberries, black cherries and a rich texture on the palate. Light tannins, fresh acidity and a clean, balanced expression. Drink now.

A spry red, with vibrant cherry and guava flavors that take on accents of cinnamon and forest floor as this persists toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2033. 13,512 cases made.
