Amalie Robert Estate: September Vintage Preview & Open House

This is the September Vintage 2024 Preview from Amalie Robert Estate. When September appears on the calendar, as it does every year just about this time, it is all over except the waiting. The torch is just starting to show its color. Most of the unfortunate, but not uncommon perils have been successfully dealt with. Several are re-runs from prior vintages, but some are new this year.

The field labor crews have come and gone, the vines are bedangled with clusters of Mother Nature’s stunning bounty nearly ready to be plucked, and the farm equipment has failed, been hauled off and repaired (and subsequently returned) then serviced for harvest. Best not to leave your equipment in the repair shop too long, or they start to befriend the other pieces of equipment and want to go back and see them!

As we suspect many people engaged in the agrarian endeavor do, we don’t ask for miracles, we depend on them. In a timely manner.

Accolades

"Dena Drews and Ernie Pink have been quietly producing some of Oregon's most elegant and perfumed Pinots since the 2004 vintage. Their 30-acre vineyard outside the town of Dallas, abutting the famed Freedom Hill vineyard where Drews and Pink live, is painstakingly farmed and yields are kept low so production of these wines is limited. Winemaking includes abundant use of whole clusters, which is no doubt responsible for the wines' exotic bouquets and sneaky structure…"
