White Rose Wines
Owner and winemaker, Greg Sanders, took over the well-established 10-acre White Rose Vineyard in the Dundee Hills in 2001. The vineyard is well-placed with several prominent producers nearby including Domaine Serene and Domaine Drouhin Oregon. He has spent considerable time upgrading the vineyard and built an unusual tasting room with a small winery underneath that looks out on the Willamette Valley and Mt Hood in the far distance. Greg is a Burgundian nut who uses some of Burgundy's top Grand Crus as his model in crafting his wines. He also sells grapes to St. Innocent who crafts a vineyard-designate Pinot Noir from White Rose. Check the website for tasting room hours. The wines are sold on the website.
Articles About White Rose WinesReviewed Wines![]() 2006 White Rose Dragon’s Bluff White Rose Vineyard Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 13.9% alc.,198 cases, $75. This wine is produced only in exceptional vintages. The White Rose Vineyard was planted in 1980 on east facing Jory soils at 750-900 feet (one of the highest in the Dundee Hills). The wine represents a selection of the best barrels from the vineyard. Aged 15 months in French oak barrels. · Tremendous aromas of red cherries, Asian spice and warm cookies. Sweet red fruit fills the mid palate with touches of sassafras and oak. Nicely composed and very approachable now, although the core of flavors will be more expressive with a couple of years in the cellar. Reviewed December 17, 2008 ARTICLE »
