2006 Witness Tree “Estate” Pinot Blanc
The Pinot Blanc variety is grown in very small quantities in the Willamette Valley. Here at Witness tree we now have two and a half acres in production (which includes an acre and a half that came on-line as of the 2005 harvest). This limited bottling offers delightful fruit flavors reminiscent of apple and pear, balanced beautifully by a crisp refreshing acidity. Serve it with lighter table fare, crab or other shellfish, or simply on its own.
Bottle Price: $15.00 Case: $162.00
2006 Witness Tree “Estate” Viognier
The fruit for this bottling was also grown in a two and a half acre block of vines that was grafted into our vineyard in 2001. Wines made from Viognier have long been prized for their effusively floral nose and spicy, exotic fruit character. This wine offers a nose full of apricot and orange blossom aromas, and an explosion of flavors suggestive of peaches and spice fill the mouth. Serve it with spicy Thai or other Asian dishes.
Bottle Price: $20.00 Case: $216.00
2006 “Vintage Select” Chardonnay

We only grow 1.9 acres of Chardonnay here at Witness Tree Vineyard.  The bottling from this tiny site is truly a handcrafted, limited-production wine. 

Honey and spice fill the nose with just a hint of vanilla. The mouth is full and intense, brimming with tropical fruit flavors and almost a hint of butterscotch. The wine possesses great suppleness of texture, and good balancing acidity. The finish is exceptionally long. This is a powerful Chardonnay, yet it offers intensity without ever seeming overblown or out of balance. Only 255 cases were produced.
Bottle Price: $28.00 Case: $302.40

2006 Witness Tree “Estate” Pinot Noir

We are excited to release our 2006 Witness Tree “Estate” Pinot Noir – the wine that is really a “snapshot” of our entire vineyard – which ultimately reflects the blending of the flavors and textures produced by the varying soil types, vine ages, clonal-selections and sun-exposures from our 52-acre vineyard.  The wine itself is packed with succulent, forward black fruits with just the slightest hint of vanilla and spice.  And from the warm, dry 2006 growing season comes incredibly ripe, big-fruited “sassy” flavors.  This is definitely the style of Oregon Pinot Noir that will make you go “WOW”!


Bottle Price: $28.00 Case: $302.40

2005 Witness Tree “Vintage Select” Pinot Noir

Here it is, our flagship wine, our piece de resistance, the 2005 “Vintage Select” Pinot Noir. We are very excited to be able to present to you this incredible wine. Intense aromas of cherry, blackberry, spice and vanilla surge from the glass. One sip reveals incredible richness--ripe fruit, rich and expansive--which fills the mouth yet the texture is smooth as silk. Balancing all, is a firm tannic structure suggesting a long life ahead. As wonderful as this wine is now, it will only be more glorious in the future. Only 620 cases were produced.


Bottle Price: $40.00 Case: $432.00

2005 Witness Tree “Hanson” Pinot Noir

Planted in the spring of 1999, Hanson Vineyard is located at the very top of our world (at slightly over 600 feet in elevation) here at Witness Tree Vineyard. This tiny “high-tech” vineyard (right at 2 acres) was planted equally to the Pommard and Wadenswil clones of Pinot Noir that were grafted onto 3309 rootstock. Modern technological viticultural practices were implemented, including high-density planting and a vertical shoot-positioned trellising system. The result is an amazingly complex and concentrated Second Release of 2005 Witness Tree Vineyard “Hanson” Pinot Noir. Only 192 cases were produced of this deeply fruited and densely colored Pinot Noir and they are sure to sell out from the tasting room swiftly!
Bottle Price: $48.00 Case: $518.40

2005 Witness Tree “Benchmark” Pinot Noir

“Benchmark” Pinot Noir comes from a 1.3 acre site in our Lower Vineyard that offers grace and finesse while displaying sheer power.  Extremely dark in color, Benchmark Pinot Noir is overflowing with aromas of black fruits, vanilla and exotic spices.  On the palate, decadent and sensually dense fruit flavors are accentuated by new French oak, tannin, and acidity.  Produced only in stellar vintages, this is as cellar-worthy a wine as is produced in Oregon — truly a collector's Pinot Noir.  89 Cases Produced

Bottle Price:  $48.00         Case:  $518.40

2005 Witness Tree “Claim No. 51” Pinot Noir
 
 “Claim No. 51” Pinot Noir  comes from two vineyard site selections in our Upper Vineyard – a total of just over one acre that yields unique wines that unite to epitomize the red clay soil types from which they come.  Graceful and spirited at the same time, this wine offers a fusion of aromas of red and black fruits with notes of vanilla and exotic spices.  Totally hedonistic right now, this wine guarantees to be a show-stopper with some cellar time – as the tannins have the chance to soften into the wine.                          72 Cases Produced

Bottle Price:  $48.00         Case:  $518.40

2006 Witness Tree Dolcetto “Remari”
Named in honor of our owners' granddaughters—Remi and Mari—our Dolcetto comes from a 1.6 acre site that we like to refer to as an experiment gone right!  Native to the Piedmont region in Northern Italy , the Dolcetto grape exhibits big grapey, sassy flavors!  Its considerable “slurpy factor” makes it a  wonderful cocktail wine, while its natural acidity gives it the power to pair exceptionally well with all kinds of cuisine.  93 Cases Produced

Bottle Price:  $20.00      Case:  $216.00

2006 Witness Tree “Sweet Signe“
 
Named for our granddaughter, this incredible dessert wine was created by freezing the grapes and then pressing the frozen fruit. The resulting juice is thus super-concentrated, and is then cold-fermented over the winter months--yielding an elixir that can only be appreciated by tasting it! In the nose, you will find heady aromas of white peaches, apricots and hints of spice. On the palate, explosive tropical fruit flavors are carried in the unctuous mouth feel. Although decidedly sweet, the wine possesses a brilliant acidity which keeps it dancing on your palate. Previous releases of “Sweet Signe” have sold out very quickly so don’t delay. A grand total of 119 cases of half-bottles were produced in 2006.  
Bottle Price:  $25.00         Case:  $270.00
