Bethel Heights are a vineyard perched on the side of a hill about 6 miles south of Amity vineyards in the stand still country of the Willamette. Like most things I was drawn to the name and visited the vineyard in November 2004 and I fell in love with the place and the people working here straight away. Then of course there are the wines!
These guys make premier uno wines. Cool climate Chardonnay at its best, the 2005 vintage is probably one of the most sublime wines I have ever had the joy of tasting. Top end Pinot Noir and Gris too. Run by the wonderful Marilyn Webb, and her son Ben is the winemaker, having taken over from Terry Casteel ( Marilyn’s husband) a few years ago once he had retired. If you ever get the chance visit this vineyard. Its quite amazing.
