This falls in the very popular tourist area of the Columbia Gorge. The vineyards are directly 3 miles north of Hood River, Oregon, 1 hour driving time east of the Portland International Airport and 1½ hours driving time southwest of Yakima, Washington. The hillside vineyards are within the Columbia Gorge Appellation which spans both Oregon and Washington and they are at an elevation of 1000-1600 feet with a southeast to south-southeasterly exposure (depending on lot.) Soils Soils from the extinct shield volcano of Underwood Mountain can be as deep as 80 feet and retain moisture well, allowing the vineyards and orchards to survive without irrigation. The vines have deep roots that extend up to 30 feet deep in the nearly rock-free soil. This allows the vines to bring unique mineral characteristics to the wines along with higher acidity giving them Burgundian and Alsace characteristics. At elevations ranging from 1000 to 1600 feet, the vineyards are considered sub-alpine, sitting at the point that wetter maritime weather from the west rises over the southern part of the Cascades, as it flows east to the dryer, arid high desert lands of eastern Washington. Climate The climate and area are reminiscent of Alsace, the Mosul River valley, and the banks of the Danube River valley. Our closest town is Bingen, Washington. The town of Bingen (pronounced BIN-jen) was named after Bingen-on-the-Rhine in Germany due to its view down the Columbia Gorge. In the 1860’s, the Suksdorf’s, a prominent local German immigrant family, and owners of the historic “Bingen Haus” named the town after their families home in Bingen, Germany which was along the Rhine River. The landscape is enormously varied and is one of the most diverse and scenic natural areas in the United States. Cliffs, bluffs, and meadows are mingled with forests. The forests consist of firs, oaks, maples, alders, and cedars that are mixed with many types of berries, mushrooms, and truffles. Wildlife is abundant, and the commanding views are spectacular. Due to its consistently moderate climate the region has been a major producer of timber, vegetables, and fruits for over 150 years. The area has also gained international renown for its world-class windsurfing and kite- boarding. The town of Hood River, Oregon (12 minutes away) has become the heart of the Columbia Gorge and experiences a population surge of approximately 10,000+ tourists during the warmer months (May-September). Our vineyards are located at the eastern edge of the Cascades, where the mountains meet the Columbia River. Our site is at the beginning of the rain shadow that occurs as the coastal marine air converges with the arid climate of the eastern side of the Cascades. This climatic change generally occurs along the White Salmon River valley. With this adiabatic rise the maritime fronts lose about 1” of rainfall per mile east of Stevenson, Washington, to The Dalles, Oregon (6” annual rainfall). We get about 38 inches per year, and this mostly occurs from November thru May. Vineyards The vineyard is terraced on a 20 to 30% slope. The majority of vine spacing is 6x10, with some varieties and clones, planted to the higher density of 3x10. Vines are trained to a single cordon VSP supported by metal trellis system. A drip irrigation system is installed with soil moisture monitors but is all dry farmed. All canopies are open and air flow is also enhanced by the steep slope of the hillside. The Columbia River provides a great moderating affect to the surrounding air temperature year round. Check this video out for some great history on Celilo vineyard which is adjacent to Underwood Mountain Vineyard “Interview with Rick Ensminger” Viticulture Bud break occurs around mid-April; Bloom around the summer solstice (6/21); Veraison occurs in mid to late August; Harvest generally runs from the end of September to the end of October, depending on the varietal. The fruit is all hand harvested. Some of the vines are located on the north side of Celilo Vineyard, along Kramer Road, which has been growing award winning fruit for over 40 years. The dry farmed vineyards do quite well in the unique terrior of Underwood Mountain. Current plantings consist of multiple varietals, root stocks and clones: Whites: Johannisberg Riesling, Gruner Veltliner, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc Reds: Pinot Noir (PN777, PN667, PN114, Pommard, PN02A, PN115, PN113, PN32, PN15, PN31, PN16) Columbia Gorge AVA The Columbia Gorge Wine Country experience is defined by spectacular scenery, the trailblazing spirit of the people, and the diverse lifestyle opportunities that accompany the world-class wines grown and crafted here. Columbia Gorge Wine Country is a 40-mile, sweeping, dramatically changing panorama of landscapes as the Columbia River cuts through the Cascade Mountain Range, creating microclimates of arid desert to cool temperate rainforest, providing the specific rain and soil conditions required to nurture the growth of more than 30 premium wine grape varietals. Instilled with a strong sense of adventure and taking the "road less traveled," the close-knit group of winemakers and growers on both shores of the river in Oregon and Washington are skilled trailblazers, who are making extraordinary world-class wines bonded by their passion for the craft and commitment to the land. Just an hour from Portland, the charming towns of Columbia Gorge Wine Country offer year-round opportunities for adventure, relaxation, the arts, and countless outstanding local flavors to satisfy every taste.

  • Moody Vineyard, OR 2018 New Price $140.00 Id
    Cabernet Franc - Columbia Valley AVA - Moody Vineyard, OR 2018 New Price $140.00 id. 18MCF Moody Vineyard, located in the Columbia Valley AVA, is perched high above the confluence of the trout-filled Deschutes River and the Columbia River. Western basalt cliffs help shield the vines from the wind blowing down the Columbia Gorge. The east slope offers early sun and provides heat to ripen and develop premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc wine grapes. One of the furthest westerly vineyards in the NW to ripen these varietals successfully. Averaged Lab Readings: Brix: 25.4, pH: 3.71, TA: 3.7 g/L Recommendations: - Add 35 g. tartaric acid and 2 good nutrient doses, ferment to 85° f ICV/BM45. - The ripe grape’s low acidity makes it an ideal candidate for a blend – Super Tuscan Blend with the 2018 Sangiovese. Two pails of Moody Cab. Franc with one pail of 2018 Sangiovese will create a full bodied, aromatic wine. The addition of 1.8 L of unchlorinated water, 64 grams / 2.3 oz of tartaric acid, and a large dose of yeast nutrient will prepare the must for fermentation. Sangiovese - Carneros AVA - Santo Giordano Vineyard, CA 2018 New Price $155.00 id. 18CSG Santo Giordano Vineyard is located in the Carneros AVA next to San Pablo Bay, across Arnold Drive from the Gloria Ferrer Vineyard. The vines are cooled by morning fog and the influx of afternoon marine air. Sangiovese is the primary grape in Tuscany’s Chianti wine. Our California Sangiovese is grown in a region sufficiently hot to allow full sugar and phenolic development, while maintaining fresh acidity.

Thanks to favorable weather at bloom and an extended warm growing season with no weather pressures, growers with heavier crop loads than in the past were blessed with fully ripened and mature fruit. Overall, yields are well up from the previous two harvests, where smaller fruit sets and other weather pressures produced lower than average yields.

  • Detailed Trip Description
    zephyradventures DETAILED TRIP DESCRIPTION OREGON MULTISPORT & WINE ADVENTURE From its rough-and-tumble coastline to volcanic mountains, crystal-clear lakes and high deserts, Oregon offers an unparalleled diversity in landscapes and beauty. What you might not realize is that the state is also a world-class wine region with 17 distinct winegrowing regions and more than 450 wineries producing 72 varieties of grapes (including renowned Pinot Noirs that have won many awards in recent years)! However, Oregon is still in its infancy as far as wine tourism is considered. On this five-day active wine adventure, we visit wine regions ranging from the hip college town of Eugene to the northern Willamette Valley to the Columbia Gorge . by foot, by bicycle, and by canoe. We have created unique vineyard walks, a canoe trip on the beautiful Willamette River, and an exhilarating bike route through the Hood River Valley that brings us down the lower slopes of Mount Hood. Oregon’s wine country is spread over thousands of acres and dominated by small, family run wineries. If you love wine, you’ll be thrilled with all the sipping of local Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays, Pinot Gris, and Rieslings. Each owner, vintner or winemaker we meet has a great story to tell and we will hear many of them. All this makes our wine adventure in Oregon unique and special. Join us and be in the vanguard of active wine tourism! DAILY ITINERARY DAY 1: After assembling our group in Portland after lunch, we’ll travel east and into the Hood River Valley.

  • Portfolio Wine Club 2020 J.C
    Portfolio Wine Club 2020 J.C. Somers Garnier Vineyard Tempranillo Rose 25/BTL The Garnier Vineyard is located in the Columbia Gorge AVA on the Oregon side of the Columbia River near the town of Mosier. I have been making beautiful Rosé from this vineyard for many years. The tiny Tempranillo block has made an exceptional wine for us this vintage. Made in the classic style, it is dry and has a lovely lightness of being. Aromas of red fruit with citrus and mineral notes. On the palate, the wine has a nice intensity of fruit with a fresh and crisp finish. Very versatile in food pairings: goes with Roasted Chicken, Niçoise Salad, Salmon and nearly everything else. 2019 Ratio Viognier 45/BTL The intent of this wine is to emulate the minerality and reserved fruit of the King of Viognier – Condrieu, in the Rhone region of France and, as such, was held in bottle until Spring 2021 before release. The nose has now revealed its true self with Meyer lemon, orchard fruit, pineapple and rose accompanied by anise, saffron, and smoky, chalky minerality. With the vibrant lemon, orange pith, and juicy acidity of the palate, this wine’s varietal identity might be hard to guess, were it not for the honeysuckle that accents the ginger and subtle herbs of the finish. For an exotic evening, explore pairing with middle-eastern or Indian food and, for a surprise pairing, try it with lamb tagine. 2018 Ridgecrest Vineyard Pinot Noir 42/BTL Youthful, bright and pedigreed; deep purple-red core, with floral-rose, spice and pepper aromatics; supple red fruit, plum, restrained oak flavors, with a slash of Worcestershire, suspended freshly and tightly on a texturally exciting mid-palate of velour-like tannins; well-rounded three-dimensional red fruit with extra layers of dark fruit extending front-to-back seamlessly, with no palate breaks and, although tight, bright and needing time, ending with that classic elegance for which Ribbon Ridge is heralded.

  • OVERVIEW WASHINGTON Content Contributed by Rob De La Rosa, Imperial Beverage
    WINE OVERVIEW WASHINGTON Content contributed by Rob De La Rosa, Imperial Beverage Closely review the syllabus for this wine level to determine just what items require your attention in each of the region/country overview documents. Washington state is a premium wine producing region located in the Northwest corner of the United States. Although a relatively young wine industry, it is the nation's second largest wine producer and is ranked among the world's top wine regions. Washington wines are found nationally in all 50 states and internationally in more than 40 countries. Washington's first wine grapes were planted at Fort Vancouver by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1825. By 1910, wine grapes were growing in many areas of the state, following the path of early settlers. French, German and Italian immigrants pioneered the earliest plantings. Wine historians Ron Irvine and Dr. Walter Clore document in their book The Wine Project a continuous and connected effort to cultivate wine grapes beginning with those early plantings at Fort Vancouver. Hybrid varieties arrived in nurseries in the Puget Sound region as early as 1854, and by 1860, wine grapes were planted in the Walla Walla Valley. The first commercial-scale plantings began in the 1960s. The efforts of the earliest producers, predecessors to today's Columbia Winery and Chateau Ste. Michelle, attracted the attention of wine historian Leon Adams. Adams in turn introduced pioneering enologist Andre Tchelistcheff to Chateau Ste. Michelle. It was Tchelistcheff who helped guide Chateau Ste. Michelle's early efforts and mentored modern winemaking in this state.
