Buy Yamhill-Carlton grapes for your wines

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.

Thank you to @oregonwinepress for a stunning article about Müller-Thurgau. We love seeing Kramer Vineyards and Anne Amie Vineyards both featured for their estate wines made from this lesser-known grape. Why not visit for a tasting and learn more about the vineyards and the variety today? We'll see you soon. 🤩 See the whole article at the link in bio!

Yamhill-Carlton producers are working hard to steward the land and preserve our future planet. ⁠
