Sylvanus Wines In Current Release
A Note on the 2020 Vintage.
2020 was an almost perfect growing season in our Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Tragically, it was also a year of terrible wildfires in Oregon, many of them near Oregon vineyards. Some vineyards suffered considerable damage to their fruit from smoke, and many wineries chose not to make wine.
Sylvanus Estate, in its secluded microclimate of Moores Valley, fortunately suffered NO smoke taint or damage. We rigorously tested fruit, and performed microferments on our fruit and wine, which we also tested.
Based on those tests, and others, Sylvanus Estate 2020 vintage had no detectable levels of smoke taint.

The Vineyard & Site
Sylvanus Estate is a small family vineyard located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. It is the only vineyard situated in the unique microclimate of stunning Moores Valley.
Our Story
Sixth and seventh generation Texans Lisa McDonald and Christian Eddleman went in search of the best place to literally put down roots, in the form of grapevines. Loving the beauty and challenge of pinot noir, it was clear they'd have to head west.

Our Name & Valley History
Sylvanus means “Of The Forest” in Latin, and is surrounded on three sides by Oregon firs. The western side of the property opens to the panorama of Moores Valley below and the foothills of the Coast Range beyond.
