De Ponte Cellars
Scott and Rae Baldwin started this small family winery in 2001 at 17545 Archery Summit Road in Dayton, Oregon. Consulting winemaker is Isabelle Dutarte, formerly assistant at Domaine Drouhin. 19 acres of estate Pinot Noir are owned. Production is 2,000 cases annually of Pinot Noir. A tasting room is open Thurs-Sat at the winery. I have been quite impressed by the Pinot Noirs and this is a producer to seek out. The wines can be obtained by calling 503-864-3698. Interestingly, the winery also crafts a small amount of Melon (Muscadet).
Articles About De Ponte CellarsReviewed Wines![]() 2005 De Ponte Cellars Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 14.2% alc., $38. · The aromatics blossom with coaxing to reveal deep cherries, violets and vanillin oak. Very elegant in style with charming spiced red fruits, soft texture and diaphanous finish. I like this a lot for its Vosne-Romanee character. Reviewed January 30, 2008 ARTICLE »
