About the Winery:

Lemelson Vineyards began as a dream to create a winery that celebrates innovation in technology, sustainability in agriculture, and tradition in winemaking. Eric Lemelson started Lemelson Vineyards with the intention of building something that he calls home. Lemelson owns seven vineyards in the northern Willamette Valley. Maintaining a sense of place and respect for tradition, most of the vineyards are named for the family who originally farmed the acreage. All seven estate vineyards are organically certified and farmed by an in-house vineyard management company to ensure that the quality of the fruit and the integrity of the land goes uncompromised.

About the Wine:

Tikka was Eric Lemelson’s Great Pyrenees dog who loved to patrol the perimeter of the Pinot gris vineyards.  This wine is a tribute to her.  Tikka’s Run Pinot gris is sourced from Wascher Vineyard (a lower elevation site) and Chestnut Hill Vineyard (a higher elevation site).  Both sites have very different microclimates and soil types which makes for unique growing conditions and distinctive wine characteristics that work very well with each other once blended.  The wine has bright pear, lemon peel, melon and white flower notes that go into a long, mineral and citrus-driven finish.  A good fraction of this wine was barrel fermented, which really helps round out the richness of the wine and bring it into balance with the wine’s crisp, acidic backbone.
