A long held dream among good friends - to grow and vinify world-class, warm climate varietals from the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon - came to fruition in 1996 with the founding of Griffin Creek Vineyards. Both winemaker and winegrower are dedicated to producing only wines of exquisite quality centered around overt fruit character, richness and balance.

Griffin Creek wines hail from a selection of estate controlled vineyards meticulously farmed at low tonnages. Within these plantings are an array of old, newly proven and experimental grape clones. Complexity is achieved by fermentation, aging for 18 months in French Oak barrels, and selective blending of individual vineyards, blocks and clones.
