THE SOIL & CROP

At Becklin Vineyards, our Pinot Noir grapes thrive in the mineral-rich Laurelwood soils of Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

 

These well-draining, loess-based soils overlay basalt bedrock and are ideal for producing high-quality wine grapes with depth and complexity. Combined with our sustainable farming practices and expert vineyard management, this unique terroir allows us to grow consistently balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir fruit season after season.

“Something that still catches my breath at Becklin Vineyard, is the incredibly close view of Mt Hood, Mt. Adams, and Mt Saint Helens. You feel like you could reach out and touch them. Combine that with the natural moderate yields of the vineyard and the close proximity to the Gorge, and you have a real winner!”
Century Vineyards Manager Evan Bellingar
