Ana Vineyards

Ana Vineyard

Ana Vineyard has a great advantage entering the Oregon Pinot noir market. Mike Etzel, co-owner and winemaket at Beaux Freres, makes the Ana Pinot noir. The grapes come from the Ana Vineyard, part of the Weber Vineyard that was sold to Andy Humphrey, who manages the property. Andy also manages the remarkable Goldschmidt Vineyard, from which Dusky Goose Pinot noir is made.

About the 2002 Vintage

With the 2002 vintage, a confluence of factors - a mature and healthy vineyard, years of experience with the site, great weather, great fruit, and a sunny warm harvest season - resulted in wine that reaches a new level of excellence for Oregon Pinot noir. Harvest proceeded at a relaxed pace, with plenty of time to hand sort the fruit under delightful working conditions- sunny days and cool nights, perfect for ripening Pinot grapes. What a contrast to some years spent standing out in the cold on the crushpad, sorting grapes in the rainy Oregon fall drizzle.

Ana Pinot noir 06 is a rich and silky Pinot made by Michael Etzel of famed Beaux Freres winery for Ana vineyard owner/manager Andy Humphrey.
