Arcus Estate

Evoking the Appellation
With some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the Willamette Valley, our Arcus Estate vineyard beautifully expresses the terroir of the valley’s Dundee Hills. Located in the foothills above Dundee, Oregon, the vineyard stretches across a steep, three-sided cirque that rises over 300 feet from bottom to top. This deep bowl-shape creates microclimates within a microclimate, inspiring the vines to produce a wonderfully broad palette of fruit. Our winemaker then artfully blends these many flavors into an expressive, concentrated wine highlighted by violets and black fruits.
