THE CHEHALEM MOUNTAINS’ DRAMATIC TERRAIN & DIVERSE SOILS MAKE EXTREMELY COMPLEX & DELICIOUS WINES.
Welcome to the Chehalem Mountains
Home to some of Oregon’s oldest and most celebrated vineyards, the Chehalem Mountains lie a mere 20 miles southwest of Portland. As the highest point in the Willamette Valley, numerous towering hilltops and a patchwork of marine, volcanic, and windblown sediments provide an idyllic setting for more than 250 vineyards and wineries. Large swaths of Willakenzie series and Laurelwood soils further define the Chehalem Mountains with two nested AVAs, Ribbon Ridge and Laurelwood District. The diverse composition of soils, terrain, and climate are fundamental to our distinctive wines, contributing unparalleled complexity and joy to every sip.
“I find that Pinot Noirs from Laurelwood soils often reflect blue and black fruit, spice and rustic tannins, while Chardonnays present white floral aromas, brilliant acidity and salinity. ”
