The wines of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA have an abundance of spice and floral qualities that are layered onto dark fruit flavors.

Ken Wright

Winemaker

Yamhill-Carlton Pinot noir is redolent of blackberries, raspberries, cloves, tobacco, and coffee – all incredibly food friendly flavors.

Vitaly Paley

Chef

Yamhill-Carlton wines first captivate you with aroma. Their texture is like no other wine – silky, generous, and a persistence that lasts.
