MORE INFORMATIONWhen two of Oregon's best winemakers got married a few years ago, people speculated that they'd combine their abilities to produce something very special. Cheryl Francis was co-winemaker at Chehalem, where she made a handful of vintages of fine Pinot noirs and wonderfully fresh and Alsacian whites with Harry Pedersen-Nedry. Sam was winemaker with the inimitable Gary Andrus at Archery Summit during a run of high 90 point wines through the late 90's and early 00's.
Now Cheryl and Sam, along with several other projects (not the least ofm which is two young sons), have started their own winery, Francis Tannahill. Avalon is so honored to be able to offer their wines to our customers. The wines are quite limited, but while they are available, each is a small gem in its own way, worthy of the most refined cellar.
Founded in 2001 by Cheryl Francis and Sam Tannahill, co-owners of A to Z Wineworks, Francis Tannahill strives to craft wines that offer the purest expression of unique terroirs, old world technique, and impeccable winemaking. Select growers, vineyards, and blocks are carefully tended to produce wines that balance poser and concentration with integrity and elegance. About
