OUR STORY: In 1989 we started our foray into the wine industry by purchasing a Pinot Noir vineyard and since then have been planting Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Riesling grapes in the lush, fertile land of the North Willamette Valley, Oregon’s internationally renowned wine country. Our label is dedicated to the Spruce Goose, Howard Hughes’ famous flying boat, for its innovation and the dreams that inspired the plane’s creation. At Evergreen we put the same innovation into the creation of our wines Evergreen Vineyards family of award winning wines are available internationally in fine retailers, restaurants, markets and our tasting rooms, located in the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. OUR VINTNER: Laurent Montalieu has been in the winemaking business for over 30 years. Upon his graduation from the Institute of Oenology of Bordeaux, he worked for Chateau La Tour Blanche near Sauternes, France and Domaine Mumm in California. For the past 22 years, Laurent has been making award winning wines for a long list of notable wineries in Oregon’s North Willamette Valley. OUR VINEYARDS: Encompassing over 240 acres across the North Willamette Valley, including our Spruce Goose Vineyards located in front of the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum, our vineyards thrive in a unique microclimate which fosters excellent growing conditions. With the use of sustainable vineyard practices we ensure the high quality level of our grapes. OUR TASTING ROOMS: A visit to our tasting rooms, located inside the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, is a must for any wine taster. Where else can you sip a glass of vino while sitting under the wing of Howard Hughes’ famous Spruce Goose or beside an SR-71 Blackbird? We are open daily and tasting fees are $5.00, which can be applied towards your wine purchase. There is plenty of parking and no Museum admission is needed to taste. Along with our vineyards, we harvest over 1,700 acres of Hazelnuts, making us the largest private producer in the US. Using our Evergreen Orchards brand, we have created a large assortment of sweet and savory hazelnut treats that are sure to keep you coming back for more. Our family friendly grounds are conveniently located just off of Hwy 18, offering 2 onsite cafés, a playground and picnic areas. Group wine tasting and Special Events are also available; for more information please contact events@evergreenvineyards.com or 503-434-4297. – Description from Evergreen Vineyards (hide)

Evergreen Vineyards Pinot Gris 2008

Snoothrank:

Almost tastes like they put the wrong label.. maybe that's why I got it for 5.99 at discounter. Voluptuous green apple, quince, and minerality. Tastes like a chenin blanc, IMO. I wonder if it is, since I thoroughly dislike pinot gris/grigios for being too light, too crisp, and no complexity. Read More

Zinfandel is an American treasure. There are great old-vine vineyards around the globe that range from Nero d’Avola in Italy to Grenache in Spain and Malbec in Argentina, but only in California can we find the finest examples of Zinfandel. And when the discussion comes around to Zinfandel and experiencing all it has to offer, one is inevitably d... Read More
