Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

When it comes to making the day-to-day vineyard management and winemaking decisions, David and Amy are guided by firmly held principles.

"For instance," David continues, "we strongly believe in the notion of terroir-we really believe that each site will give you something unique." Amy agrees: "I think one of the most important things in our winemaking approach is to look at each vintage and each vineyard and work to bring out their positive aspects, let them express themselves to their best potential."

Another component of Westrey's style is the importance of balance in their wines-even to the point of going slightly out of the mainstream.

"We generally look for wines with higher acidity levels," says David, "certainly more than the general American wine press is willing to accept! We shy away from the American 'fruit bomb' style of Pinot noir. Wines with focus and acidity-reflected for instance, in our Abbey Ridge Pinot noir-are important to what we are trying to do."
