PEBBLESTONE CELLARS

Description

PEBBLESTONE CELLARS is entering a new phase, as the oldest vines on the Ellis Vineyards estate approach twenty years of age. A new logo, consisting of an old vine planted in the rocky soils of an ancient alluvial fan, reflects the mature character of the vineyard. It also marks the evolution of the enterprise Dick and Pat Ellis began when they started producing estate wines in 2004. By 2006, those wines were on the market as Pebblestone Cellars and the Ellises were holding tastings on their back porch. Next came the opening of the cottage tasting room on Camp Baker Road in 2010. This year will see the opening of a newly-constructed tasting room situated on the south end of the property with exquisite views of Wagner Butte and Mount Ashland. The vineyard has also expanded over the last two years to include Malbec, Albariño, and Grenache.

Amid the changes, what has remained constant is the superior quality of the wines: reds of distinction aged 18 to 20 months in French oak and award-winning whites including the 2014 Viognier that won Best of Class at the 2016 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and Best of Show at the 2015 Oregon Wine Experience, along with their 2015 Viognier that won Best of Show at the 2016 Oregon Wine Experience! Dick and Pat hope to have the new tasting room open on the Pioneer Road side of the vineyard by November 2016.
