Granville Wine Company

June 15, 2020

I love sharing new winery projects. A really exciting project out of Oregon, Granville Wine Company has its roots deeply rooted in Oregon viticulture. Jackson and Ayala Holstein founded their winery paying homage to Jackson’s father who was a viticulturist. As a child Jackson spent time pruning vines and washing bins and didn’t fall in love with Oregon wine until college when he and his wife found their calling. They began making wine as a hobby and also worked at wineries and traveled to international wine growing regions. 

They work with their father’s vineyard which they lease to craft really good wines. I was really impressed by their 2018 Granville Wine Company ‘Spirit Hill Vineyard’ Chardonnay (WWB, 92) which is a famed site that Argyle has sourced from for so many years. This wine has great nutty tones alongside a great veil of tension. The best wine I tried was the 2018 Granville Wine Company ‘Holstein Vineyard’ Pinot Noir (WWB, 93) which is deep and dark, showing a silky mouthfeel and wonderful tension. Learn more about these great new wines at http://www.granvillewines.com Here are the new wine releases by Granville Wine Company. 

Granville Wine Company Spirit Hill Chardonnay.jpg

2018 Granville Wine Company ‘Spirit Hill Vineyard’ Chardonnay- Sourced from the famed ‘Spirit Hill Vineyard’ the 2018 Chardonnay shows buttercream and hazelnut tones alongside shades of Pink Lady apple on the nose. The freshness here is downright awesome as lemon vanilla cream and baked apple flavors combine with the nutty undertones. Drink 2020-2028- 92

2018 Granville Wine Company ‘Farmhouse Cuvee’ Pinot Noir- Layers of red fruits dance with peat moss and cardamom infused citrus rind tones on the nose. Fresh and nicely textured, this delivers a good range of bright red fruits with shades of peat moss and forest floor accents. Drink 2020-2025- 90

2018 Granville Wine Company ‘Murto Vineyard’ Pinot Noir- Seaweed and bright red fruits fill the nose with shades of salted earth that all take shape in the glass. The palate is plush and beautifully textured with delicate red fruits with great finesse and elegance. The fainter earthy tones add to the enjoyment. Drink 2020-2030- 92

2018 Granville Wine Company ‘Holstein Vineyard’ Pinot Noir- Sourced from the Holstein Vineyard located in the Dundee Hills AVA, the day fruit tones really sing aromatically with damp volcanic earthy accents. The palate has gobs of mouth-watering acidity and freshness, showing deep layers of wild blackberry and huckleberry flavors with citrus rind and forest floor tones that entice. The silky mouthfeel accentuates this great new wine. Drink 2020-2030- 93
