Rocks are not a new phenomenon in the vineyard, but the rocky crest of the hill is something spectacular. The vineyard had a coat of basalt cobbles that caused havoc for us during development. Now those rocks have been organized into short walls below the vines. The stones inhibit weeds, absorb heat during the day and radiate it at night. The underlying soil is uplifted marine sediment of the Willakenzie type, making for a beautiful juxtaposition between the volcanic basalt, ancient seabed, and our vines struggling through it all. I am always amazed how we can have such a unique terroir that is specific to just this site.” – Evan Bellingar, Vineyard Manager TERRY FAMILY VINEYARD PLOT MAP # BLOCK NAME VARIETY CLONE ROOTSTOCK 1 Pacifica Pinot Noir 667 101-14 2 Wedding Tree Pinot Noir 943 3309 3 Sysiphus Pinot Noir Pommard 3309 4 Lightning Rod Pinot Noir 777 101-14 5 John J.

Our very name – Terry – is derived from the French word “terre” meaning “of the earth.” Our family lineage is humble. We are farmers, ranchers, arborists, and vine tenders. Ours is a rich history of living on the land. Our Grandparents first tended vines in the Mosel River Valley of Germany, then farmed in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and the Great Plains states. Now, a new generation continues their tradition in Oregon. As a young man fresh out of college I aspired to change our family’s trajectory and chose city life, away from the rolling hills of the family farm. Determined to get as far away as possible from the hard work in the hot sun, mud, and cold winter months, I chose a career in wealth management. My love of the land never wavered. Over the years I found that spending my leisure time outside, mostly as a ‘wine tourist’ greatly revived me. My greatest joys and fondest memories came while touring the great vineyards of the world, and enjoying the community of food and wine with my family. I dreamed of growing my own grapes and making my own wine. In 2010, I could no longer resist the sirens’ song. I began looking at established vineyards for sale in the Willamette Valley but none felt right. My dream came to fruition in the most unlikely of places – an overgrown, abandoned farm on a sunny hillside in Yamhill-Carlton. I can see it in my mind’s eye and feel the sun on my face like it was yesterday. As I stood on that hilltop surrounded by rocks and poison oak, I stare...
