The Wine

In honor of friends, family and the valley, zu Ehren von is a singular barrel selection that expresses the terroir of the McMinnville AVA from fruit entirely sourced from the biodynamically farmed LIVE Certified and Salmon Safe Meredith Mitchell Vineyard. The vivid color offers a spicy red and blue fruit on a fragrant nose. Influenced by rocky, broken basalt and sedimentary soil, the own-rooted vines consistently produce intense fruit with complex layers of spice and balanced tannins.

The Winery

SchöneTal Cellars is a family-owned winery focused on crafting premium Pinot noir with minimal intervention. The German word "Schöne" meaning beautiful and "Tal" meaning valley were combined as they express our family's view of the Willamette Valley for its biodiversity, agricultural richness, stunning landscapes and history. With their four children, David and Lori Ulbricht established SchöneTal Cellars and released its first vintage in 2014. With a household of all type-A personalities, we all agreed, amazingly, to establish a foundation of winemaking that focuses on obtaining quality fruit from vineyards that subscribe to sustainability and sound viticultural practices, followed by a diligently managed artisanal process of producing small lots of unfiltered and unfined quality wines that showcase natural elegance and sensuality of Pinot noir.
