2021 Griffin Creek Griffin
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.
On the Nose: Deep garnet in the glass, the bouquet is reminiscent of a classic Bordeaux blend with aromatics of red cassis, plum, herbs de provence and lavender.
On the Palate: Rich flavors of Bing cherries, gardenia and baking spices provide a front palate concentration that transforms into a mineral-driven finish. The plush mouthfeel, balancing acidity and integrated, cellaring tannins make a strong case that this wine will reward those with patience.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with powerful dishes such as grilled meats including flank steak with a salsa verde or bison burgers with blue cheese, shepherd's pie, Szechuan chow mein or mushroom and lentil soup with kale.

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.
Willamette Valley Vineyards has grown from a bold idea into one of the region’s leading wineries, earning the title “One of America’s Great Pinot Noir Producers” from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
