The Pursuit of a Dream

Seven of Hearts features wines from distinct appellations within Oregon's Willamette Valley and neighboring regions, including specific vineyards and portions of vineyards that show unique characteristics.  Using traditional winemaking methods, our goal is small production wines of great purity, complexity, and elegance.
