LONESOME ROCK CELLARS
AT THE EDGE OF WILD
Estate-Grown Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
High in the Western Hills
At the far northwestern edge of the Willamette Valley, Lonesome Rock sits high in the rugged hills west of Carlton, where vineyard gives way to the forests of Oregon’s Coast Range.
After more than twenty-five years searching for the right spot, we found this place in 2021 and began the next chapter of a life spent around wine. Today, we farm the estate organically and are LIVE Certified Sustainable.
Here, high elevation, cooler temperatures, long growing seasons, volcanic soils, and coastal influence shape Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with freshness, structure, and clarity.
What the Site Gives the Wines
Across vintages, certain qualities endure, together forming the signature of our wines.
Freshness & Energy
The long, cool growing season allows flavor to develop while retaining acidity, resulting in marked freshness and energy.
Lifted Aromatics
Our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay show lifted, layered aromatics—fruit, flowers, herbs, and spice that unfold in the glass and vary with each vintage.
A Mineral Line
Coastal volcanic soils define our hillside vineyard. In the wines, we find a fine-grained texture and mineral line that carries through the finish.
