SOUTHERN OREGON WINE SCENE / FALL WINTER 2019 27 COMING FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WITH NINE GENERATIONS De-Vine Couple: OF FAMILY IN AGRICULTURE, you’d have to say Rob and Jolee Wallace had deep roots in California farming. So what made them opt for viticulture in Oregon? Had they dreamed of owning a vineyard and winery? Not really. Rob & Jolee Wallace As the story unwinds, it’s apparent that it’s more about team than dream. Rob begins, “I started out farming rice back in the late 80’s with my Del Rio Vineyards brother. Then we split up that company and I started growing tomatoes, peppers, wheat and corn—mostly row crops but some field crops. I was eighteen/nineteen when I started that business.” Fifteen years later when Rob by MJ DASPIT set his sights on property to the north, he and Jolee were married with three children. “We had young kids and were struggling on a big farm at a time when the industry was a challenge. When the Oregon opportunity presented itself, we came here and looked at it. It’s beautiful here. Who wouldn’t want to live here, right?” The Wallaces took the leap and opted into the Oregon venture with partner Lee Traynham. Jolee recalls it was tough to separate from family. “Our twins were eight and our daughter was five. I think it was a very hard adjustment. Their grandma lived down the street and my parents lived close. Rob has ten brothers and sisters; he’s the youngest of eleven.” In 2000 when Rob took over, Del Rio Vineyards was already one of the largest tracts of wine grapes in the Rogue Valley at around 180 planted acres. That winter about half of the vines died due to a hard freeze. But a few years after replanting those vines, the Wallaces started to expand. Today their combined vineyards total about 460 planted acres. The Wallaces faced another challenge—trying to market the tonnage they were producing to the existing wineries in the state which, for the most part, had very limited production. Highly variable crop yield year to year made contracting the entire harvest difficult. To absorb that portion of the harvest that wasn’t contracted for sale, the Wallaces decided to produce their own wine by custom crush agreement. The Del Rio brand was born, and in 2001 the Rock Point Stage Hotel, built on the property in 1864, was renovated to serve as a tasting room. “It was very, very small,” Jolee says. “Our cellar was only a couple hundred cases.” The Del Rio estate winery was added in 2004. Rob notes that capacity has gone from 28,000 gallons originally to over 600,000 gallons today. “In this business it’s kind of a rule… you’re not allowed to plant grapes unless you plant tanks to go with them. Because whether you’re growing sugar beets or tomatoes or peppers, if the market goes south, then buyers are going to have trouble taking that product. Unless you have a facility of some sort to take up surplus and market it at a later date, you’re going to have issues. Bob Caravan (founder of Bridgeview Vineyards and Winery) told me the guy with the most tanks wins. He was dead right.” Before long, the Wallaces were bottling their wines under three different labels. In addition to the original “Del Rio” brand, there is “Rock Point,” retailing at a lower price point, and the “Jolee” label, offering a semi-sparkling Muscat and a red table wine on the softer, fruitier side. “Jolee” is the biggest seller of the three. During the month of October, the Wallaces partner with Asante to support breast cancer education by donating $10 of the proceeds from every case of “Jolee” sold through the Del Rio tasting room. But there’s more to it than just growing grapes and making wine. Rob explains, “We have the farming company, the construction company, the trucking company, a winemaking company, a distribution company, a retail company, an events center—I mean it’s a lot. We have teams that cover all of that and Jolee and I kind of oversee it without killing each other. We don’t just sell grapes and wine. We sell processing, farm work, bulk wine, private label work, all kinds of things. When they did freeway construction out here, it literally shut our tasting room down but it didn’t slow down our business because we have so many different things going on. We have a lot of diversification and we have an extraordinary team that keeps all of that running.” Jolee smiles. “Many people have stopped here over the years to sell us Photo courtesy of Del Rio Vineyards business plans, trying to help us set a goal for five years, ten years.” by Gypsy Jane Photography “The plan,” Rob says, “is to keep moving forward.” Jolee adds, “We’re pretty organic and flexible. If the team wants to go in one direction, we go in that direction. We’ve had so many great ideas from our own people. That’s what makes it work.” For more on Del Rio Vineyards, see page 30. 28 SOUTHERN OREGON WINE SCENE / FALL WINTER 2019 UPPER ROGUE

SOUTHERN OREGON WINE SCENE / FALL WINTER 2019 41 42 SOUTHERN OREGON WINE SCENE / FALL WINTER 2019 Paint Your Barrel Paula Guzzo and the ART of Winemaking

by MJ DASPIT

here are two striking features of the tasting room at Guzzo Family Winery, She points to a vineyard painted on the other side. “The vineyard is not really a reds-only producer in the Applegate Valley. First is that you could right there in front of Table Rock—it’s really mostly cherry trees growing in that T accurately insert ‘micro’ in front of ‘winery.’ The cozy space that doubles as area— but I added it.” The ground fog flowing around the base of Table Rock is the tasting room will accommodate twenty in close proximity to tanks, lab gear authentic, she adds, and is also captured on the photo of Table Rock that appears and other winemaking apparatus. The other thing is the painted wine barrels with in the 2019 Oregon Wine Experience (OWE) pamphlet, the guide to the annual their sparkling beveled glass tops that serve as tables. Paula Guzzo, owner with wine extravaganza sponsored by the Asante Foundation to raise money for local husband Tony, has been painting Oregon landmarks on barrels retired from the hospitals and the Children’s Miracle Network. winery ever since she took a few “paint and sip” classes several years ago. Guzzo is gratified that the scene on this barrel fit perfectly with the OWE “I never tried painting before those classes. I went with a friend. I said, I don’t theme, because for the third year running she donated a barrel—with a glass paint. But it was fun and I kept going. I was so involved in the painting I wasn’t top this year—that was auctioned at the fundraiser. Sarahanne Driggs, Events drinking the wine… I learned a lot and I said I’m going to try a barrel.” Officer with the Asante Foundation says, “The silent auction is a main highlight Guzzo’s barrels are thirty-gallon American Oak, retired after two or three of the Miracle Auction and Salmon Bake on Saturday.” years of use for aging wine. “I have to sand them and get them ready to accept Robin Galloway, Oregon State University Professor Emeritus and long-time the paint. I don’t try to cover up all the wine stains that are on the barrel because OWE volunteer and attendee purchased the barrel Guzzo donated in 2018. “I I think that makes it unique. They’re only a few years old, so they’re in really started going to OWE when it was at Del Rio,” Galloway says, “and have enjoyed good shape. I try to put vineyards on a lot of them along with landmarks such watching it grow in Jacksonville. The Grand Tasting is my very favorite event, as Table Rock, Three Sisters, and Harris Beach. I do study canvases first to use as trying different wines and pairings and seeing all of them in one place at one a guide for how I’m going to arrange the scene on the barrel. It looks better on time.” She recalls Guzzo’s barrel was elevated on a stand and that it immediately the barrel sometimes than it does on the canvas because painting directly on the captured her attention. Reflecting on her successful bid, Galloway says she wood creates a richer look.” Study canvases and the finished barrels are for sale admired the way a painted barrel “epitomized the practicality and luxury of the at the Guzzo tasting room. wine industry.” Her barrel, she notes with its scene of Harris Beach, “looks kind It must be fairly daunting, the prospect of painting a unified scene on a barrel, of Mediterranean with the grapes and the water. I like to sit with glass of wine if only in terms of the surface area. Guzzo says you start with the bung, the plug and zone out looking into that picture.” Galloway chuckles about coming to in the barrel’s fill hole. “I start with that because it sticks out and its placement the realization that she had to transport her purchase. “I had to cram it into my in the scene needs to be determined first,” she explains. She points to a barrel Subaru—which I didn’t think about when I bought it, but it all worked out.” with Table Rock on one side and Mount McLoughlin on the other. “The bung “Yes, a thirty-gallon barrel will fit in the back of an SUV,” Guzzo says with a is a waterwheel. It’s from a picture I took at the Touvelle Lodge. In the back of smile, “and it’s even better if you put a couple of cases of wine in to stabilize it.” the lodge is a little waterwheel and you can see Mount McLoughlin behind it.” For more on Guzzo Family Vineyard, see page 48.

PETIT VERDOT IN YOUR GLASS Winemaker Rob Folin / Belle Fiore Winery

Petit Verdot is considered one of the five principal Bordeaux grape the property’s west-facing slope, is critical to the quality of this grape. varieties that go into the traditional blended red wines made under “Petit Verdot needs a warm spot with prominent sunlight. Definitely that French appellation. The other four are Cabernet Franc, Cabernet not a good choice for planting in the Willamette.” Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot. It isn’t uncommon to find a varietal The vines are not heavily cropped, yielding only about two tons per bottling of a Cab, Cab Franc, Malbec or Merlot in Rogue Valley acre. A late ripener, the fruit has to be allowed to hang. “It’s one of the tasting rooms, but to come up with a bottle of Petit Verdot you last that we bring in,” Folin says. With a long, loose cluster of small might have to do a little digging. There’s just so little of it planted berries like a Cabernet, the fruit is relatively mildew-resistant and can in our region—and it’s almost always used to balance and enhance hang out. Time on the vine adds complexity. The acidity holds well, a Bordeaux blend or varietal. Bordeaux varietals are exempt from though it does comes down with extended ripening. “I don’t even Oregon’s 90% minimum requirement for varietal labeling and are sample it until part way through harvest.” allowed to be blended with up to 25% other varieties. Thus, a wine Folin describes this Petit Verdot as having “earthiness and a core labeled “Oregon Cabernet” could contain as much as 25% of one or of dark fruits without any bell peppery greenness. It’s smooth but the more blenders such as Petit Verdot under Oregon Liquor Control acidity is there, with mouth-coating tannin but not crazy dry. The Commission regulations. fruit has a transparency.

Belle Fiore is known for producing an array of red blends, so through its development by Folin’s immediate predecessor Heather his assumption was that this small lot of Petit Verdot would be used in Nenow. Folin’s John Henry appears on the screen-printed bottle that this way—until he tried it. He remembers saying to himself, “Man, this initiates Belle Fiore’s signature series, a collection of specially-curated stuff is good. This is really good.” Folin spoke with Dr. Edward Kerwin, wines, made in very limited quantity and not poured in the tasting Belle Fiore’s hands-on owner and general manager, to recommend room. Of the signature series and the Petit Verdot, Folin says, “This bottling the Petit Verdot on its own. isn’t me trying to take credit for someone else’s work, but I do feel like What is it that made this wine deserving of a previously unplanned I did save it from just going into a blend.” To which we say, bravo! varietal bottling?
