Et Fille Wines

Et Fille is father Howard Mozeico and daughter Jessica Mozeico (Et Fille = "and daughter"). They produce small quantities of high-quality vineyard designate Pinot noir. A fascinating combination of Jessica's youthful exhuberance and Howard's Burgundian, classic style is an Oregon original. They recently added a new Reserve wine, Heredity Pinot noir, blended from the best barrels of four different vineyards.

Since their first vintage in 2003, Howard and Jessica have gained a reputation for well made, beautifully balanced single vineyard Pinot noirs that are immediately drinkable but cellar well and build complexity with age.

Howard explained his inclination toward single-vineyard designates: "I find it amazing, interesting, and delicious that from the same grape variety, the same clone, made by the same winemaker, using the same barrels, you can enjoy instances - oops, a software term - that taste so different one from the other. And it is all because of the soil, the microclimate, the care taken in tending the vines, the age of the vines... It's fascinating to me."
