Welcome April!
April at Bethel Heights means ancient apple trees and native wildflowers blooming around the edges of the vineyard, exuberant forbs and grasses blooming in the vine rows, and new lambs in the pasture next to the winery. Hoping to see budbreak before the month ends…
Introducing our first cork-free Pinot Noir!

Bethel Heights is pleased to announce the release of our first 2009 vintage Pinot noir. We had a very warm summer in 2009 that gave us ripe, rich Pinot flavors, with a cool end of season to retain acidity. The wines are luscious and vibrant, and drinking beautifully even at this early stage in their life.
We are also pleased to announce that both our 2009 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir (immediate release) and our 2009 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (anticipated June release) have Stelvin closures instead of corks, promising that the wine in every bottle is exactly the same vibrant, flawless wine we put into the bottle, uncompromised by any degree of cork taint.
The Heroes of 2010

2010 was the most compressed harvest we’ve had in the Willamette Valley since sometime back in the dim and distant 70’s. We waited until the last possible minute to pick, waiting for our gorgeous Indian Summer to bring on the final flavor development that makes a great vintage. When that moment came, there were storm clouds on the horizon.
