Denny has been farming the southwest ridge of the Eola-Amity Hills since the 1970’s. Originally the proprietor of Eola Springs Vineyard, he became obsessed with the rocky slope just above his site. In 2007 he purchased that rock strewn, volcanic clay site and developed it into the exceptional vineyard now known as Sojourner.

The vineyard sits on the southern end of the Eola-Amity Hills, facing southwest towards the coast range. At 650 feet in elevation, the site overlooks the valley and surrounding farmlands from its perch on the steep hill.

“Medium ruby-purple, the barrel sample of 2021 Pinot Noir Sojeau Vineyard has gregarious aromas of pomegranate and blueberries with touches of nori, mushrooms and star anise. Medium-bodied and powerful, it offers concentrated, earthy fruit, mouthwatering acidity and a long, flavorful finish.”-(93-95)WA

Walter Scott Wines is a family-owned winery located in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The winery was founded in 2008 by husband and wife team Erica Landon and Ken Pahlow. Ken had always dreamed of starting his own wine label, and Erica inspired him to take the leap. The two partners emptied their meager retirement accounts to get started, and they began making wine in the basement of their home.

Walter Scott Wines’ first vintage, La Combe Verte Pinot Noir, was released in 2009. The wine was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to put the winery on the map. In the years since, Walter Scott Wines has continued to grow and expand. The winery now produces a variety of wines, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling.
