Witness Tree Vineyard

Witness Tree Winery & Elemental Cellars

Witness Tree Vineyard is named for a huge and ancient oak tree high on a ridge overlooking the vineyard. The tree was used as a surveyor's landmark in 1854- it's striking silhouette hangs above the rows of green vines, a silent watcher.

Witness Tree makes small amounts of very highly rated Pinot noir and Chardonnay. A small amount of dessert wine, Pinot Blanc, and Viognier were made from the 2002 harvest.

Elemental Cellars is a second label at Witness Tree. A non-vintage Pinot noir is made from declassified fruit, and delicious dry rosé and a nice fruity Syrah are also available in small quantities.

Bryce Bagnall has been the winemaker since 1995, and his tenure has resulted in vintages of increasing quality. Witness Tree Vineyard is well worth a visit and a taste- the wines have both complexity and distinction.

Bryce Bagnall was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) in the summer of 2003. A group of friends, calling themselves the "SOBs" (Supporters of Bryce) have gathered together to support Bryce. Their website is www.supportersofbryce.org.
