Wine Flight
Terroir Series Chardonnay 2019
Three premier vineyard sites come together to showcase a true "cool climate" Chardonnay of impeccable balance, vibrancy and expressive texture. The diversity of micro-climates in the Willamette Valley produces a vast array of ripeness and complexity in Chardonnay. Our winemaker, Bryan Weil, captures three of these unique "Terroirs" in a layered and beautifully seamless Chardonnay. This "Willamette Valley" bottling represents why Chardonnay is quickly ascending to new heights in sites previously designated for top Pinot Noirs
Terroir Series Pinot Noir 2019
Individual barrels are selected from our small production single vineyard Pinot Noir program with the intention of seamlessly bringing together 4 distinct terroirs to create a unique bottling of "Willamette Valley" Pinot Noir. Each vineyard block is fermented separately in small batches with native yeasts before resting in French oak barrels for 10 months. Each Spring, winemaker Bryan Weil selects individual barrels from each vineyard block to create a beautifully expressive and balanced version of "Willamette Valley" Pinot Noir.
East Blocks - Volcanic Soils Pinot Noir 2018
The eastern blocks of our estate vineyard are south to south-east facing and are composed entirely of various volcanic soil types. This section of our property consistently produces softly textured wines noted red stone fruits and spice. Our fruit is triple hand-sorted and then fermented in micro-fermentation batches with native yeasts. A combination of gravity-flow winemaking and elegant integration of French Oak present a balanced and beautifully textured expression of world-class Oregon Pinot Noir.

About the Winery
Located in Newberg, OR In 2005, while representing his Napa Winery, Revana, at a wine conference, Dr. Revana met Lynn Penner- Ash, owner of Penner-Ash Wine Cellars. He shared his love of the great wines of Burgundy and became fast friends with her. In the spring of that same year, Dr. Revana enlisted Lynn's expertise to begin a search for both the ideal piece of land and an experienced winemaker to produce Pinot Noirs that could rival those from Burgundy. Since its founding in 2005, the Alexana Estate is a geologically diverse 55-acre parcel consisting of 18 different soil types. The vineyard is dry-farmed and located between 360–640 feet elevation in the pristine Dundee Hills AVA where sustainable and biodynamic farming methods are applied to cultivate premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
