Three Feathers 2021 Pinot Noirs – New Vendors, Venues & Partnerships
Our Three Feathers 2021 Pinot Noirs are in the pipeline, to be bottled in August!
We already bottled our 2021 Pinot Gris in March. The release came at our May 29th Memorial Weekend Open House and was well received. Our Pinot Gris has a characteristic fruitfulness created by our Laurelwood soils and high-altitude (800 feet). Our terroir yields a full-bodied Pinot Gris which is then enhanced by aging in stainless, without any oak at all.
Three Feathers 2021 Pinot Noirs
In addition to our 2021 Pinot Gris, our 2021 Pinot Noir wines will be bottled in August. We made two Pinot Noir wines for this vintage; a single-clone Pinot Madeleine and Cuvée Virginia barrel-selected blend of Estate Grown Pinot Noir clones. Experimenting with vinification methods for these reds has enabled us to emphasize the fruit-forward aspect of our wines and minimize woody tannins.
These two Pinot Noir wines promise to be a clean expression of our fruit grown in Laurelwood soils. They will be released late this fall so stay tuned!
NEW VENDORS, VENUES & PARTNERSHIPS
Elise arrived, fresh from her Paris tasting event at the US Ambassador’s Residence (photos and article here), in mid-May. She has been “promoted” from Vineyard Worker to Sales Associate and has been very busy helping Sandra with business development. This started June 5th with the Oregon Winemakers Association gathering: Crush on Oregon in Portland.
Crush on Oregon was an excellent social event for us and led to several opportunities, notably a pop-up guest pour at D’Anu Wine Bar in Hillsboro on Saturday, July 16th from 1 to 4pm during La Strada Chalk Art Festival.
We welcome the renewed opportunity to meet customers face to face, share our wines with them and get their feedback. Consult our Events Calendar for our July – August Pour Schedule.
CELLAR 503
We are thrilled to be chosen by Cellar 503 as winery partner!
Cellar 503 is an Oregon Wine Club run by Carrie Wynkoop focusing on Oregon Wines that she has curated. Members receive a monthly selection of wines, often around a theme (organic, women winemakers, unusual varietals, etc). Carrie visited us this winter at Three Feathers and tasted through our portfolio of wines, selecting our 2021 Pinot Gris and Pinot POP! for her next club release.
This month, these two Three Feathers wines will be featured by Cellar 503 in their tasting room and we will be there to present our winery on July 17th from 12 to 4 pm. Explore 503 club members will receive our wines in their July club shipment.

Elise and our Sales Associate, Sandra, have been focusing this quarter on introducing Three Feathers wines to new vendors. Response has been strong and we are pleased to present new accounts with; NW Food & Gifts in McMinnville, Skywater Wines in Hillsboro and John’s Marketplace Multnomah location.
