Combining a love of psychology and winemaking

An archetype is a symbol, character-type, or theme that occurs so regularly in mythology, literature, or rituals that it embodies an element of the universal human experience. In this case, it is a universally relatable character. Archetype12 Wines was founded in 2018 by Jason Werner, a long time lover of psychology. In Jungian psychology, there are twelve established archetypes that collectively depict the whole of humanity, and the wines Jason crafts are based on, and named after, the personalities of these twelve characters. While the winery is in Portland, Oregon, the grapes are sourced from various sites in both Oregon and Washington. The bulk of Archetype12's wine production is fairly traditional, focusing on single vineyard wines from small vineyards, but he also loves to experiment with more unique ferments like piquettes and kombucha.

What a fantastic experience. The Sommsation staff was literally sensational, and our sommelier was accessible, knowledgeable and fun. Everyone learned so much while having a great time!

Jessie B.

Fantastic experience! Set up was seamless, wines were excellent, and the Sommelier nailed it with just the right level of info to ensure our group had a great time.

Sam F.

Sommsation helped me bring friends together from 3,000 miles and lifetimes away -- dear friends who otherwise would never meet and certainly would never enjoy drinking wine together.

Scott F.

Wine tasting experiences offer a refreshing break from the ordinary, providing a memorable and meaningful way to celebrate.

Danielle D.

Great! Sent gifts of wine through the marketplace and also participated in Sunday School.

Juliet T.

My experience with Sommsation was truly exceptional! During Cyber Week, I seized the opportunity to explore a variety of wineries through their enticing deals. The wines arrived promptly the following week, impeccably packaged and ready to enrich my cellar for the holiday season. Each bottle I sampled surpassed my expectations, and when shared with friends and family, garnered nothing but praise. With Sommsation, it seems you can't go wrong. Highly recommended!

Joanne T.

This was a great event! I had a lovely time and look forward to another one in the future.

Lovenworth was a delight to speak with and was well-versed in wine geekery, but she promised that sessions are always geared toward the level of knowledge in the room. If you’ve never operated a corkscrew before, she’ll dial down the minutiae and take the audience back to basics.

Archetype12 Sunday School Wine Set

2023 The Caregiver Chardonnay - The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Airfield Vineyard, which is located in the heart of Yakima Valley. The vineyard was originally planted in 1968, making it one of the first commercial vineyards in Washington. The wine is aged in neutral oak, and is fruit forward, with stone fruit and tropical fruit notes that develop into flavors of butterscotch and cream.

2021 The Citizen Pinot Noir - The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Casa S Vineyard in Willamette Valley, which produces lovely Pinot Noir. The wine is elegant and delicate, with notes of cherry, strawberry, black tea, and just a hint of earthiness. It is lighter-bodied and incredibly approachable, fantastic either with food or when sipped by itself.

Archetype12 Wines cannot ship to the following 6 states: AR, DE, LA, MS, RI, UT

More about Archetype12 Wines

Portland, Oregon

Owner/winemaker Jason Werner's first career was in business consulting, but he decided to make the switch after working a couple of harvests and taking a job as marketing director for a local winery. In 2018, he created Archetype12, and they've been growing ever since. In addition to creating great wine sourced from top vineyards in Oregon and Washington, Jason has a hard cider program called Terroir Incognito, where he makes crowd-sourced, community-supported craft ciders. For this label, he relies on donated fruit, mostly apples, from locals who have extra, to craft progressive French-and Spanish-inspired ciders and other libations.
