Estate Grown · Chehalem Mountain AVA
The Fruit
Two varieties. One hillside. The volcanic basalt soils of the Chehalem Mountains express themselves differently through Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — but both carry the unmistakable signature of this place.

Pinot Noir
Structure, depth, and the iron grip of volcanic basalt.
Hall Vineyard Pinot Noir is grown on south- and southeast-facing Jory series soils at elevations ranging from 600 to 800 feet on Chehalem Mountain. The vineyard is planted to Pommard and Dijon 115 and 777 clones on 3309 and 101-14 rootstocks. Significant diurnal temperature variation during the growing season — often 40–50°F swings — preserves natural acidity and builds aromatic complexity. The fruit is hand-harvested into small bins at optimal maturity, block by block.

Winemaker Note
Winemakers working with Hall Vineyard Pinot Noir consistently note the structural integrity of the tannins and the fruit's capacity for extended aging. Natural acidity — typically 6.0–6.5 g/L TA at harvest — provides the framework for wines that reward patience in the cellar.
Chehalem Mountain AVA
Chardonnay
Mineral tension, precise acidity, and genuine terroir.
Hall Vineyard Chardonnay is planted to Dijon 76 and 96 clones on the same volcanic Jory soils as the Pinot Noir blocks, at elevations of 580 to 750 feet. The fruit achieves full phenolic ripeness while retaining the bright natural acidity that defines great Oregon Chardonnay. This is not a warm-climate style — it is precise, mineral, and site-driven, well-suited to both barrel fermentation and neutral oak or concrete programs.

Winemaker Note
Buyers working in a Burgundian style find the natural acidity and mineral character provide the tension and longevity their programs demand. The fruit is equally well-suited to stainless steel and concrete programs seeking a leaner, more mineral expression.
