  • New Release - 2005 Flagpole Block Pinot Noir
    Lately it seems that each of Van Duzer's Block Designates ages according to different physiological clocks. The wait has paid off for Flagpole Block, our Wädenswil-based original Block Designate Pinot Noir. A dry summer in 2005 produced especially rich, concentrated fruit in the steep site. Following two and one-half years in the cellar, the wne is "open for business."

     
  • 2007 Pinot Gris and Rose' Releases on April 1
    Ahhh . . . just as surely as flower buds appear and temperatures climb each spring, Van Duzer's 2007 Estate Pinot Gris and 2007 Estate Pinot Noir Rosé wines will be ready for release in April. Still bearing the freshness of fruit harvested six months earlier, the 2007 vintage Pinot Gris and Rosé happily accommodate diners' appetites for lighter menus and dry, crisp wines.

     
  • Oregon's Largest Charity Wine Auction Named Van Duzer 2008 Wine Ambassador
    Oregon's premier charity wine auction tapped Van Duzer Vineyards as the Oregon Ambassador for Portland's annual event that easily raised over $3 million for area nonprofit organizations. Proprietors Carl and Marilynn Thoma created "The Art and Soul of Santa Fe" a live auction package of four days in historic Santa Fe filled with opera, gallery tours, visits to artist studios and dining in Santa Fe's finest restaurants.

     
  • One Size Does NOT Fit All: Annual Pruning is Totally Customized
    In pictures, we follow Vineyard Manager Norbert Fiebig through two very different vineyard blocks to understand the pruning process. The full story is available in the Spring 2008 VANE newsletter, available now on our website

     
  • 2006 Vintner’s Cuvée – New Release
    Van Duzer released its Vintner’s Cuvée line of Pinot Noir for the first time last year and quickly sold out. The 2006 vintage is likely to prove just as popular. This is the perfect house wine, a blend of six Pinot Noir clones that capture the grape varietal’s many nuances. Selected from newer vines on the estate following the warm summer of 2006, this full-bodied wine offers up a rich texture and abundant aromas of plum, spice, blackberry and blueberry. Flavors of black cherry, ripe plum and fresh garden herbs predominate.

     
  • Van Duzer Launches Wine Club

  • Newest Vineyard Planted to Syrah
    Vineyard workers have toiled since late June to stake and plant 5,850 Syrah bench-grafted cuttings on Van Duzer's steep southwest vineyard that is dominated by an ancient, lone oak tree. The 5.3 acre southwest-oriented vineyard is one of the warmest vantage points on the estate, prompting Vineyard Manager Norbert Fiebig and Winemaker Jim Kakacek to select the hardy syrah grape for the vineyard plot.
