Yamhill-Carlton AVA Wine for A Cause

Members of the Yamhill-Carlton winegrowing region have banded together in collaborative effort to raise funds for Yamhill Carlton Together Cares (YCTC), a non-profit serving children and families in the Yamhill and Carlton communities. More than thirty wineries contributed their top Pinot Noir bottlings to create mixed 6-packs of wine showcasing the best of the region.

Participating wineries include Belle Pente, Big Table Farm, Elk Cove, and Lemelson Vineyards, among many others. 6-packs sold as part of this fundraising initiative feature 6 wines from 6 different producers, all around $50 a bottle. These special collections, which will be randomly selected upon purchase, are offered until they sell out and are available for $250 each.

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

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

Did you know we have several tasting rooms you can

Did you know we have several tasting rooms you can visit all within walking distance in the heart of downtown Carlton?

Founded in 2011 by brothers Sean Davis, Ryan Marshall, and Matt Marshall (Pictured on the label). Marshall Davis creates small batch vineyard specific wines. @marshalldaviswine

“We make Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from our estate vineyard located in The Yamhill-Carlton AVA of the Willamette Valley. We also craft full bodied wines such as our Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon with fruit originating from some of the most prestigious vineyards in the Walla Walla AVA.

Stylistically we keep our wines focused and varietally correct. Winemaker Sean Davis believes in minimal manipulation, letting each vineyard express itself, with more attention paid to textures and tannin management.”

Enjoy a tasting with Marshall Davis Wines by appointment. Call: 503-852-3086 🍷

The Yamhill-Carlton Winegrowers Association is thrilled to present the Yamhill-Carlton Storehouse food pantry with an $8000 check! These proceeds came from our wine case program, which sells mixed cases of Pinot noir from Yamhill-Carlton wineries to benefit a local charity.

There are about ten cases of wine for sale still, so we encourage you to purchase one (or split among a couple friends) so we can present the food bank with another big check soon!

Learn more and purchase with the link in our bio!

Wine Wednesday with @chrisjamescellars Chris Jam

Wine Wednesday with @chrisjamescellars

Chris James Cellars is a family owned and operated vineyard and winery that produces unique and interesting wines in Carlton, Oregon.

“We produced our first wines in 2015 and have since grown to offer a wide selection of whites, reds and sparkling wines. Our approach to white wines is to emphasize and preserve the varietal aromatics, flavor and acidity. In red wines we seek to develop intense flavors through harvest decisions and winemaking techniques during fermentation and focus on mouthfeel and silky texture during maturation.” To make an appointment: Please call or text Beth at 503-852-1135
