The Wine

Charles Coury made his mark on a young Oregon wine industry. An interest in cool-climate grape growing brought him here to plant a vineyard in 1966, and associations with David Lett and Dick Erath make Coury one of Oregon’s wine pioneers. He also brought a “suitcase” full of mystery clones to Oregon from Alsace, France, hence the “Coury Clone.” The true lineage of the clone is not entirely known—a curiosity, or “Couryosity,” that produces wonderful Pinot noir. This wine is our tribute to the Coury Clone. The 2018 vintage yielded an opulent wine with hints of blackcap raspberry driving crisp acids and firm tannins. Enjoy!
