Winemaker Michael Stephens brings more than 20 years of experience to his craft, carefully selecting grapes from the finest Willamette Valley vineyards. Marking the winery’s first nationally distributed release, the 2011 Winemaker’s Cuvée Pinot Noir is sourced from Freedom Hill and Lazy River Vineyards.
