Vineyard Retreat - Eola Hills

Salem, Oregon

Ten minutes from Salem, Oregon in the Amity - Eola Hills Appellation of the Willamette Valley lies a property right out of Sunset Magazine (see Sunset article). Owners Greg and Anne Cost worked with Jill Lewis and Lane Williams of Coop 15 Architects  (link to Coop 15 website) on this stunning makeover of the existing farmhouse. Warm, natural wood tones combine with stainless, concrete, and walls of windows to create an enviable marriage of modern and traditional. All the existing kitchen cabinets were retained, as they were made from a single walnut tree that grew on the property. The owners enjoy views of the vineyard and coastal mountains from every room, with spectacular sunsets throughout the year. Eola Hills is about an hour drive to Portland, and is an area that has seen many high profile vineyards develop in the last 20 years. Some of the area vineyards include Canary Hill, Evesham Woods, Cristom, Witness Tree, and Bethel Heights

.

The owners have developed part of the 21 acre property into a small Pinot Noir vineyard.  The soils are predominantly Nekia which is red silty clay over volcanic basalt. Nekia is the predominant type in the Eola Hills and closely related to the Jory soils series which the Dundee Hills, just north of here, are famous for, and which produces many of the top Oregon wines. The fruit has been sold to various local winemakers, with a portion being bottled as a private custom crush label. There is  room to expand the vineyard by approximately 5 acres if desired.

2009 Harvest under way

img_0200 Well, we are under way with another harvest. I have been working for several years with different wine makers in the Willamette Valley, and this year will be helping with both Sineann and Winderlea wines. It looks like another great vintage is rolling in with weather cooperating nicely, and a beautiful, sunny week ahead to get most of the fruit picked and processed at the wineries. img_0174 Harvest is often referred to as Crush in the argot of wine folk, and the double meaning of the name becomes obvious when you have days like yesterday at Sineann where we ran 10-12 tons of Merlot from Hillside Vineyard in the Columbia Gorge, and another 12 tons of Pinot Noir from Kevin and Carla Chamber's  Resonance vineyard in Carlton. Dinner was at 8:00 and we finished washing the line and headed home around midnight.   Speaking of dinner, Peter Rosback goes to extremes to make sure that the crew eats well during harvest. img00135-20091006-20341 Last night's dinner, prepared by Chef Dante Leonardi, was torch seared Toro tuna followed by lamb-sicles, fresh, roasted beet and cabbage salad, and a great selection of wines from the various wine makers involved with the winery.  I am looking forward to the next few weeks of long days, good friends, and great food and wine.
