For more than two decades we have been working with the Moore family, dedicated stewards growing the highest-quality wines from their Rogue Valley vineyards since 1989. The Rogue Valley is an emerging Oregon region with temperatures similar to France's Bordeaux or Rhône regions.
On the Nose: The wine is ruby red in color with powerful barrel notes of leather, cassis and sweet baking spice giving way to subtle fruit aromas of blueberry and cherry tart.
On the Palate: Vibrant flavors of cherry, black pepper and shiitake mushroom are discovered as you sip the wine. The barrel characteristics and sweet red fruit move across the palate outlining a warm vintage and mature Merlot grapes.
Food Pairings: Mediterranean lamb burgers, soutzoukakia, herb and garlic meatloaf, pot roast and wood-fried flatbread topped with mushrooms.
Pink Drinkability: 2023 - 2032

Quail Run Vineyards
Rogue Valley AVA
Pioneers of the Oregon wine industry, Don and Traute Moore have been cultivating vines at their Quail Run Vineyards in the Rogue Valley since 1989, growing varietals from all over the world. What they discovered through careful site selection and temperatures similar to France’s Bordeaux or Rhône regions was the ability to grow a “world of wine” in the Rogue Valley as the varietals flourished. Their site is now one of Oregon’s largest and highly regarded vineyards in the industry.
Quail Run Vineyards is LIVE Certified and collaborate closely with universities on multiple experiments to improve grape quality, improve soils and pest management practices.
Shortly after partnering with Quail Run Vineyards to make our first vintage in 1996,
our Griffin Creek Merlot was named “Best Red Wine in Oregon” by Wine Spectator.
