Winemaker Notes
Cardwell Hill Cellars is a family-owned Oregon boutique winery producing about 8000 cases per year. Sustainable agriculture practices are used to achieve premium quality fruit that is hand harvested. These practices are certified sustainable by Salmon Safe and LIVE (Low Impact Viticulture and Enology). Cardwell Hill Cellars is also certified by Bee Friendly Farming and IOBC (International Organization for Biological Control).
Our vineyards are located in the foothills of the coastal range on the west side of the Willamette Valley. This is a cooler part of the valley producing fruit with a slightly lower sugar level and higher acid. The result is a nice backbone of acid which promotes longer shelf life. Flavors of cherry and raspberry linger on the pallet. This wine goes beautifully with pasta dishes, salmon, and shell fish. Pair it with lamb, pheasant, duck, venison, and steaks. Drink now until 2031.
