Eola Springs

Eola Springs Vineyard

Eola-Amity Hills AVA - Willamette Valley

Situated parallel to the Van Duzer Corridor, Eola-Springs Vineyard benefits from the unique interplay of soil, climate, and elevation, creating a unique terroir. Spanning across a pair of west-facing ridges, the vineyard’s soil composition tells a story millions of years in the making—ancient marine sediment from a prehistoric seabed, alluvial loess deposited by the cataclysmic Missoula Floods, and volcanic basalt from fiery eruptions. This rare confluence of sedimentary, volcanic, and glaciatic soils lends an extraordinary complexity and depth. Eola Springs thrives under the cooling maritime winds that funnel through the Van Duzer Corridor, moderating summer heat and preserving vibrant acidity in the fruit. The personality of the land shines through every vintage—expressing layers of complexity, vibrancy, and authenticity.

Standing above our rows of Cabernet Franc at Eola Springs Vineyard, winemaker Evan Martin tells the story of the dynamic terroir of Eola Springs and expresses our excitement of working with Willamette Valley Cabernet Franc for the first time. This project will result in our first Rosé project since 2019.
