Carabella Vineyard

While at Rex Hill, Lynn started working with Carabella in the first fruit year. We learned a lot about managing a new site in a new planting area and after many trials and experiments the vineyard has matured and is bringing great structure, intense fruit and a textured mouth feel to our Willamette Valley blend. The fruit from this site handles whole cluster which adds complexity and depth to the wine.
