Our Story

We did not come to wine through a single bottle, region, or grape variety.

Instead, we came to wine through discovery. Through travel and history, food and family. Wine became part of, and enhanced, so many of the things we loved.

As a result, we set out to do more than blindly follow convention or simply try to recreate a wine we admired.

When we found this hillside in Yamhill, Oregon, we saw an opportunity to begin our own exploration. The site was unlike any we had encountered: a natural amphitheater ringed by native oak, ancient marine soils, and cool afternoon winds carrying the scent of the Pacific. Its varied topography offered complexity at every turn.

Most vineyards begin with a grape variety. We began with a place and a question. How can we compose a singular wine experience perfectly suited to this landscape?

Concinnitas is a Latin term describing the harmonious arrangement of parts into a coherent whole. The Renaissance architect Leon Battista Alberti used it to describe a form of beauty that emerges when every element exists in proper relationship to every other — when nothing can be added or taken away without diminishing the whole.

That idea became the foundation for everything that followed. The varieties we planted and the layout of the vineyard. The orchard of traditional cider apples, the hops, the grains. The farming, and the wines. Each decision was made in relationship to the site and to every other decision — a single fermentation landscape rather than a vineyard alone.

Not to recreate something that exists elsewhere. Not to follow convention for its own sake. But to help this place become the most complete expression of itself.

The result is not a single wine, but a collection of wines connected by a common purpose: depth balanced by freshness, intensity balanced by energy, and a sense of harmony that can only emerge when every element truly belongs.

Everything we do is in pursuit of concinnitas.

We make very little wine, and what we do make is offered first to our members. If you would like to access our wines, there are two ways in.
