The Oregon Wine Experience competition remains a premier event attracting the best Oregon wineries and world class Judges.

"This competition is highly reguarded (in the United Stares) it is an honor to be invited to this competition."

Wine Journalist
"We are scoring these at a very high standard. The results are what they are. The reds did excel at a higher value. Top marks, a real stand out is Syrah, I'm a big fan. What I find here is there is a savory spice character to the wines. There is an elegance, there is a weight, there is a lot of structure but it's balanced. That's something you don't find in a lot of places."
Robert Paulinski - Master of Wine
"Consistently overperforming : The Syrah is just beautiful"
