The Natalie’s Estate Winery is nestled in the quiet foothills of the Chehalem Ridge in Oregon’s Yamhill Valley. The family-run operation was founded in 1999 making small quantities big red wines from killer vineyards in the Columbia, Yakima and Willamette valley appellations. The first commercial single vineyard wines were released in 2000 with a Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from The Pines and Hillside vineyards outside the Dalles, Oregon. Named after Boyd and Cassandra Teegarden’s daughter, Natalie’s Estate is the product of a love for wine and the places the grapes are grown.
Teegarden stumbled into the wine business while waiting tables in college. Suddenly it dawned on him, “Damn; this food and wine thing works.” An epiphany for a farm boy from Kansas. Boyd spent 15 years in the wine wholesale business and was able to travel to winemaking regions now and then for work. Rustic wines made in small batches intrigued him. “I love the complex Barolos and Barberas of Northern Italy as well as the big brash Cabs and Syrah made out in the sticks of Australia” said Teegarden. “These places had a magic about them. You can taste it in the wines.”
