Coleman Vineyard

Initially planted in 1991, Coleman Vineyard is located within the Western region of the Willamette Valley. Nestled in a protective weather shield provided by the local Coast Range foothills, the site consists of almost 14 acres of pinot noir and 9 acres of pinot gris vines. Our vineyard lies beside the Van Duzer corridor, an opening through the mountain range leading to the Oregon coast which typically provides our warm summer days with crisp afternoon winds, cooling the evening temperatures down significantly. We believe this temperature variation alongside the area’s rich volcanic soils are a major contributing factor to the phenolic characteristics and brightness of the wine, providing a healthy structure for ageing in addition to signature dark cherry and spice flavours accentuated by intense colour. Because these influences have helped to shape geology and climate unique to the vineyard growing regions of the Willamette Valley, our site is located within what is now known as the McMinnville AVA.
