BOTTLE OF CLARET2 WineWE 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 Medals 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!
