	2010 Chatte d'Avignon Viognier & Roussanne Columbia Valley Oregon The 2010 Viognier & Roussanne blend is from the same vineyard, Rattlesnake Road, in Arlington on the Oregon side of the Columbia River, as previous releases.  As always, this site gives up a very rich and broad expression through these classic Rhone varietals - tropical/floral notes from the Viognier, accompanied by structure, stone fruits, and ginger spiciness from the Roussanne.  The big difference with this year's version is that it is actually more Roussanne (52%) than Viognier (48%).  We considered making a separate Roussanne as we've done in the past, but the blend was at it's very best with the inclusion of all the Roussanne. Still a wonderful accompaniment to a wide array of foods, from delicate shellfish or oysters to hearty meat dishes, or spicy foods. $18 per bottle, 238 cases produced
	2010 Pinot Gris Oregon This Pinot Gris comes from a site that was remarkably well suited for this varietal in this unusually cool vintage.  A dry, site that benefits from warm days, cool nights,and outstanding air flow, the fruit developed slowly over the long cool growing season.  While surprisingly large for the vintage, the wine retains very pleasing balancing acidity to accompany a  broad mouthfeel, and elegant expansive fruit profile.  $16 per bottle, 126 cases produced (4 remaining)
	2009 Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills Crawford Beck Vineyard This single vineyard Chardonnay from the Eola-Amity Hills expresses a clear sense of place from 14-year old vines planted on Saum volcanic soils. Farmed meticulously by owners David and Jeanne Beck, this Chardonnay was cropped at 2.25 tons per acre to achieve balance and depth of character with the full expression of Chardonnay that is possible in Oregon when utilizing Dijon clones (in this case 76).  2009 was a warmer vintage resulting in a big, fully expressive, but balanced wine. $24 per bottle, 224 cases produced (7 remaining)
	2010 Rosé of Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Our 2010 Rosé of Pinot Noir incorporates fruit from all five of the Pinot Noir vineyards we worked with in 2010.  With a core of the minerality we cherish in our Rosé, this wine fills out with hints of Provençal herbs, and a range of summer fruit notes including cherry, pomegranate, and strawberry. Made dry to be a wonderful accompaniment with food, it will also tempt as a refreshing summer treat by itself. $12 per bottle, 98 cases produced SOLD OUT
	2010 Ice Princess Viognier Sweet Wine The Ice Princess Viognier Sweet Wine is made from the same fruit we use in our Viognier & Roussanne blend.  The fruit is taken straight from the vineyard to cold storage where it is frozen for two weeks, after which it is immediately pressed very slowly over the course of several days, producing a mouth-filling, intensely flavorful, aromatic and lengthy dessert wine.  $18 per 375ml bottle (6 cases remaining) $34 per 750ml bottle (SOLD OUT) 66 cases produced
	2009 Chatte d'Avignon Grenache & Syrah Columbia Valley Washington Sourced from older vines along the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge outside of and near Goldendale, this wine is modeled after some of my favorite red Rhône wines, such as Chateaneuf du Pape that is dominated by the elegant forward fruit of the Grenache, but with enough Syrah to give it some meaty backbone and depth. $25 per bottle, 119 cases produced  SOLD OUT
	2010 Chateau Figareaux Cabernet Franc Columbia Valley Oregon $29 per bottle, 98 cases produced. Expected release in May, 2012
	2009 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley This 2009 Pinot Noir is a blend that incorporates the broad expression of five very distinct vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills, Yamhill-Carlton District, and Dundee Hills.  Soils range from the diverse set of volcanic and sedimentary soils each of these AVAs are known for.  In addition a broad selection of Pinot Noir clones are utilized to achieve a broad palette of aromas, textures and flavors, along with a small amount of whole cluster fermented fruit to add to the layers of complexity.  2009 was a warmer than average vintage, but this wine retains balance and vibrancy along with the elegance, complexity and expression of place that we cherish in our Oregon Pinot noirs $19.99 per bottle, 630 cases produced
	2009 Pinot Noir Crawford Beck Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills A cooler site among the many we source from, the warmer 2009 vintage teased out a large generous expression from the volcanic Saum soils on the Crawford Beck Vineyard.  As always, both red and dark fruit characteristics show through, but in a plush, expansive package.  A wine with appeal in its youth, but also one that will reward with some aging. $35 per bottle, 98 cases produced (10 remaining)
	2010 Pinot Noir Lia's Vineyard Chehalem Mountains This is a prized old vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains (formerly part of Jacob-Hart).  Owner Todd Hansen (Longplay Wine) is another who gives the utmost attention and care to the vineyard (as you know, where all great wine begins).  This blend is a co-ferment of some of the vineyards oldest and best blocks of Wadensvil, Pommard and Mariafeld (aka clone 23). Grown on volcanic jory soil, these lots combine to make a wine of tremendous purity, complexity and finesse.  $35 per bottle, 77 Cases Produced
	2010 Pinot Noir Armstrong Vineyard Ribbon Ridge We are absolutely thrilled to be one of a very few outstanding producers to be making wine from this small Ribbon Ridge vineyard, very lovingly overseen by owners Doug and Michelle Ackerman.  This vineyard performed exceptionally well in 2010, particularly in that it displayed a great deal of the characteristics I prize for whole cluster fermentation.  This single vineyard designate is a combination of 50% Pommard and 50% 777, and a whopping 67% whole cluster fermentation.  As Ribbon Ridge wines often are, this is a big broad shouldered wine, but still with the elegance that you have come to expect from Seven of Hearts wines.   $35 per bottle, 98 Cases Produced
	2008 Pinot Noir Special Reserve Willamette Valley This blend highlights the highly diverse characteristics of four of the five vineyards we worked with in 2009, including fruit from the Yamhill-Carlton, Dundee Hills, and Eola-Amity Hills AVAs.  The Special Reserve is our attempt at making the most complete, complex, layered, textured wine that we can produce, drawing on the very best of the fine vineyards we source from. $42 per bottle, 147 cases produced
	2010 Coupe's Cuvée Pinot Noir Dessert Wine Willamette Valley Coupe’s Cuvée, our seasonal Pinot Noir dessert wine release made in a traditional port method to retain just the right amount of residual sugar to balance the wine but still retain the pure expression of Pinot noir, providing an uncharacteristic elegance for a port style wine $21 per 375ml bottle $42 per 750ml bottle 98 cases produced
	2010 Luminous Hills Estate Grown Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton 2010 may be the finest year yet for Luminous Hills.  While our yields were down dramatically (hence only the regular and the Lux, but no Astra in 2010), the quality and precise expression from the different blocks was remarkable.  In fact, with the absence of the Astra, along with the high quality of some of the other vineyards we started working with in 2010 (Armstrong and Lia's), more components of Luminous Hills were available to this blend than has been the case in the past (when more was needed for the Seven of Hearts Willamette Valley blend).  As a result, the 2010 includes all four Pinot noir clones planted at Luminous Hills:  Pommard, 115, 667, and 777.  It's the broadest and clearest expression yet of the big picture story that Luminous Hills has to say.  $28 per bottle, 329 Cases Produced
	2010 Luminous Hills Estate Grown Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton LUX As in the past vintages, the 2010 Lux is exclusively Pommard and 777, that special, distinctive combination, dominated by the broad, deep dark fruited notes from the Pommard on sedimentary soil, coupled with the intense brighter, redder fruits of the 777 on the upper elevation volcanic Jory soil.  The difference this year is that, based on the success of this combination determined by blending trials before bottling in prior years, this year the two were co-fermented, bringing together, integrating, and elevating the wine, providing more complexity in the process.  Different vintage, different wine as always, but very clearly Lux.  $35 per bottle, 112 Cases Produced
	2009 Luminous Hills Estate Grown Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton ASTRA A new blend from the Luminous Hills Vineyard for the 2009 Vintage, Astra, like the “silver label”, uses 667 from the volcanic soils on the upper elevations of the vineyard, and 115 from the lower elevation sedimentary soils, but no Pommard.  However, the Astra uses a much higher percentage of whole cluster fermentation, all from the 667 lot.  The result is a rich, expressive wine, much like the Lux in terms of texture and depth, but with a more high-toned personality than the bass note driven Lux. $35 per bottle, 98 cases produced (1 cases remaining)
