Amalie Robert Estate Climate Update: June 2024
The big news in the Willamette Valley is that we are training the Pinot Noir vines up into the trellis catch wires at Amalie Robert Estate! And the odd thing is, they never seem to learn. Year after farming year, it is the same thing. The only variation is when you do it, not how.
And that depends on the weather, which we can not control, but we do accept. Something to watch this election year. And it’s a leap year.

Just another thing we can’t control, but must accept.

Accolades
"Dena Drews and Ernie Pink have been quietly producing some of Oregon's most elegant and perfumed Pinots since the 2004 vintage. Their 30-acre vineyard outside the town of Dallas, abutting the famed Freedom Hill vineyard where Drews and Pink live, is painstakingly farmed and yields are kept low so production of these wines is limited. Winemaking includes abundant use of whole clusters, which is no doubt responsible for the wines' exotic bouquets and sneaky structure…"
