Roco Gravel Road Chardonnay Willamette Valley 2022

ROCO Winery’s story is a true testament to the pioneering spirit of Oregon wine. When Rollin Soles and Corby Stonebraker-Soles first arrived in the 1980s, they weren’t just moving to a new state; they were stepping into the very beginning of a burgeoning wine movement.

Alongside other daring entrepreneurs, they shared a bold vision: to prove that Oregon could produce world-class wines, particularly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, on par with Europe’s finest. They weren’t just planting vineyards; they were actively shaping an industry, building wineries, and establishing foundational organizations that would lay the groundwork for Oregon’s now-celebrated wine region.

Fast forward over 35 years, and ROCO stands as a shining example of Oregon winemaking at its absolute peak. Their dedication and talent have led to an impressive track record, boasting hundreds of 90+ point scores from top critics, multiple appearances on Wine Spectator’s prestigious Top 100 Wines of the World list, and even the honor of having their wines served at the White House.
