20 YEARS OF OREGON WINE

This isn’t a second career. This isn’t a hobby. And this certainly isn’t whimsy. This is Drew Voit switching his major after freshman year of college to viticulture and enology, knowing immediately after graduation that Oregon pinot noir was the wine frontier, working at and helming some of the most respected brands in the Willamette Valley, then creating his own brand and vision. This is intention.

Drew spent ten years learning the minutiae of the science of winemaking to then, for the next 10 years after that, be led by mastered intuition. He chooses his pick-times based on an almost clairvoyant-like ability to know how they will show as a finished wine. He watches over several ripening vineyard sites simultaneously, and from each he can pull from them the most intense, unique-to-that-site symbioses of flavors, aromas, and textures. That is obsession.
