Open: Year-round
Ruby Vineyard is 7.25 acres of some of the oldest Pinot Noir in Oregon. Own-rooted Wadenswil was planted in 1973 and own rooted Pommard, Chardonnay and Riesling were planted in 1979. The white wine vines were grafted to Dijon 115 in 1990, so now the vineyard is 100% Pinot Noir. For over 33 years the roots have grown deep into the Laurelwood soil.
The vineyard is located only 20 miles southwest of downtown Portland, in the Chehalem Mountain AVA, elevation between 340′ and 410′, with southeast, south and southwest aspects. The vineyard is farmed organically using sustainable agricultural practices. The soil type is Laurelwood and is unirrigated. Prior to conversion for viticulture, the property was a walnut orchard and a dairy farm.
