Northern Rhone meets Walla Walla meets Oregon! This complexly aromatic Syrah offers up red plums and fresh blueberries alongside savory notes of dark chocolate, oil-cured olives, ground coffee, and grilled steak. Those aromas carry through to a silky-textured palate that marries the fruity and savory elements with aplomb. A blend from three vineyards in different regions of Oregon: Deux Vert Vineyard (Willamette Valley, Northern Oregon), Belmont Vineyard (Bear Creek Valley, Southern Oregon), Steelhead Run Vineyard (Applegate Valley, Southern Oregon). 250 cases made.

A little more about Twill Cellars
So, why Twill? "It's a word that encompasses many of the things we are after in crafting wine here in Oregon. To name a few: fabric, process of assembly, tension and strength of material. It's not about us, the particular vineyard, bottle, barrel, or clone, it is rather the composition of everything coming together as something thoughtfully crafted and true to the character of each unique vintage. We are merely a part of this tapestry of many components, and Twill Cellars seems like a great title for our small project," says winemaker Chris Dickson.
We've known Chris for many years (heck, he even bought wine from us when he was living in North Carolina) and it makes sense that we'd like his wines, given his experience. He cut his teeth in Oregon working for several respected wineries. His first harvest was 2007 with Penner-Ash, then Evesham Wood for their 2010 harvest (August-December). He worked with Marcus at Goodfellow Family Cellars/Matello between 2011-2012.
