Our Wines
WE ARE ALL ABOUT BIG RED WINES!
100% Estate grown fruit from our vineyard.
Traditional French style wines from the Bordeaux to Rhone.
Syrah and Claret are our flagship wines. We also custom craft small lots of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and soon to add Sangiovese.
We are committed to making wines that stand the test of time and although we release our wines at the time we feel they are starting their flavor journey, they have many years of lay down time to truly capture their complete flavor profile.
The Garvin Family has been in Oregon agriculture for 100 years as of 2010 and are committed to sustainable farming practices and producing the best fruit to make fine wines from Southern Oregon.
Although we are a young vineyard, we have already received many accolades for our wines. Here are just a few: Top 100 wines of the San Francisco Chronicle, 90 in the Wine Spectator, Gold Medal’s at Greatest of the Grape, Northwest Wine Summit and many more…
We hope you enjoy our wines and come visit us at the tasting room.
From our vineyard to your table… enjoy!
2006 Merlot
Our 2006 Merlot is 100% estate grown at Sams Valley Vineyard. Full of red currants, raspberries and plum cherries with hints of mint and sous bois, our Merlot possesses the rich tannin structure and natural acidity to age and evolve in the more classic manner preferred by our Bordeaux brethren.

2006 Cabernet Franc

The nose has bright fruit flavors, layers of mineral and spice. The fruit tends
toward intense layers of blueberry, pomegranate and loganberry, backed by understated spices (nutmeg, cardamom, a hint of vanilla). Its a medium-bodied
though dense wine, balanced, with full well-integrated tannin.

2004 Claret
Our 2004 Claret is 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot. It is a classic Bordeaux style wine, with aromas of wild mountain blackberries and the perfect thread of Cabernet Franc’s acidity and zest. Well-balanced with sweet tannins and complex layers.

BEST OF SHOW – WOW
2005 Syrah
100% Estate Grown Syrah from Sams Valley Vineyard in Gold Hill, Oregon. A nose of dark chocolate and black cherry, this well-balanced wine presents itself with a smooth mouth with black raspberry flavors and a hint of smokiness. This wine is rich and has a full body. Very drinkable now and will be better in time.
