The Fairsing Vineyard Tasting Room and Labyrinth At Sunrise in Oregon's Yamhill-Carlton AVA of the Willamette Valley.

Fairsing Vineyard Estate Wines

Nestled high in the hills of Oregon’s Yamhill-Carlton AVA, Fairsing Vineyard is bound by the Cascade and Coast Mountains and rooted in ancient marine sedimentary soils.

Fairsing Vineyard wines continually express a true sense of place.

Each vintage embodies the estate’s confluence of varied topography, diverse microclimates, and unique maturation profiles.

The 2012 Fairsing Vineyard Pinot noir is the inaugural vintage of this estate Pinot noir reflecting the complexity of the estate with blooming crimson clover on the label. Crimson clover blooms each spring in Oregon's Willamette Valley heralding the arrival of another growing season while simultaneously feeding the soil with nutrients.

FAIRSING VINEYARD

PINOT NOIR

Crafted from the finest clonal selections from across the vineyard.

Each vintage of the Fairsing Vineyard Pinot noir continues to inspire us with hallmark depth, layered complexity, and seamless elegance.

ACCOLADES & NOTES

A blended and lively expression of the estate

Open, vibrant, and accessible with vitality and herbaceous notes.

This estate Pinot noir was crafted to enjoy in the near term, with mature flavors, light tannins, and finesse. 

“After the first sniff of the wine in the glass, the earthiness fades away to reveal aromas of a loaf of fresh-baked sourdough and blackberry jam. Leathery tannins and brisk acidity blaze a path for a tart boysenberry, anise, and orange pekoe tea flavors. Fruit, alcohol, tannins, and acidity are in almost perfect harmony.” – M.A.

94 Points and Editor’s Choice,  Wine Enthusiast

“Notes of dried cherries and red plums with hints of wet leaves, leather and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied with a dense, meaty structure and creamy tannins. Notes of darker berries and chocolate with velvety finish.” Drink now.

“Stored for ten months in 30% new French oak, the 2015 Fairsing Vineyard Pinot Noir begins with ripe red cherry, black truffle and red currants on the nose. The palate is very fresh and viscous with excellent balance and weight. Layers of ripe red fruits greet you with plenty of minerals and light flinty and earthy undertones. Enjoy now. Drink 2023-2028.” – Owen Bargreen

“This wine’s strawberry and raspberry flavors carry a slightly funky bouquet, but call it a feature, not a flaw. It has salted caramel notes from aging for nine months in 30% new French oak, and it’s creamy and focused on the palate, finishing on a hint of cola.” – Paul Gregutt, Contributing Editor

“Soft and approachable on the mouth, the 2015 Fairsing Vineyard Chardonnay comes from Dijon clonal selections 76 and 95. It shows off peach and ripe pear on the palate, with vanilla cream and copious minerals. Well-balanced and exceedingly good now, enjoy over the next several years. Drink 2023-2028.” – Owen Bargreen

“This young wine balances ripe tangy fruit flavors of apple and peach against barrel flavors from aging in roughly one-quarter new French oak. The good components are in place, but a bit more bottle age should help to pull them together.” – Paul Gregutt, Contributing Editor

“Opening with youthfully mute toast and cedar suggestions over a core of lemongrass, white peach and fresh apples, the 2015 Chardonnay is taut and finely constructed, with an appealing quiet intensity plus great freshness and length.” – Lisa Perrotti Brown, Contributing Editor

“A blend of Pommard, Wadesnwil, and Dijon 777 clonal selections, this spent ten months in 30% new French oak prior to bottling. This is delicious and quite honestly a delight to savor right now. Beautiful and pure red fruits greet you alongside red rose water, tobacco leaf and shades of kumquat zest. Complex and delicious, savor this over the next eight years. Drink 2023-2031” – Owen Bargreen

This image is of the 2019 Fairsing Vineyard Dardis Pinot noir wine bottle with blooming crimson clover on the label

DARDIS

PINOT NOIR

This elegant wine, named for Hannah Dardis – a pioneering Irish woman who earned her college degree in the 1920s in rural South Dakota, reflects her refined sense of style.

With each vintage, plummy and dark fruit flavors marry with impeccable tannins and elongate to a finish hinting of spice and white pepper.

ACCOLADES & NOTES

“Even Dr. Who would love this Dardis. Its aromas of marionberry pie, earth, and crushed brick dust are followed by flavors of blackberry tea and lemon-flavored jelly babies. The Dardis’ tannins are as impressive as its bright acidity. Only a time machine could tell for sure, but you should be able to enjoy this wine from 2025-2036. – M.A.

“This blends estate-grown Wädenswil and Dijon 115 clones into a briary, open, and forward expression that accents its core of cherry fruit with a dash of cola.

Then your palate gets zapped with lime zest and lemon curd flavors, with a mild cinnamon note. Lively up yourself. – M.A. 9
