The late, great Dan Duckhorn truly had everything. All the premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vineyards in Napa you could dream of. Then with the purchase of Caldera and Kosta Browne, premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay throughout the Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley. With Canvasback, Washington state Cabernet Sauvignon from all the best sites across Red Mountain.
And for the longest time, Dan didn’t even dare think about Oregon. It just seemed like a big hill to climb. But when some of his buddies in the Pacific Northwest introduced him to a few very important people, they offered him the opportunity to lock into some incredible contracts in the Willamette Valley that only Duckhorn could manage to get this late in the game. We’re talking Eola-Amity Hills, Chehalem Mountains, Yamhill-Carlton, Ribbon Ridge, a true who’s who from the most expensive real estate in all of Oregon.
