Carlton Cellars

Handcrafted wines. Bold as the Oregon Coast.

"I'm sold! The best Pinot in America! Genius!" "The perfect match for the personality of the truffle." "One of the best Pinots I’ve ever tasted." "Falls within the top handful of wines made from [the Pinot Gris] grape in the United States of America." "You have captured my favorite style of Pinot Noir." A great wine and so many luscious flavors. Now I'm stocked up! "Not to be missed."

These are just a few of the enthusiastic words our fans have shared about our wines and even our Estate Vineyard Lunch events. Looking back on our incomplete list of honors and awards — we've lost track of a few over the last decade — our wines have received

three 90-point ratings from Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate (not to mention some from CellarTracker.com users),
1 Platinum Medal,
12 Gold Medals (including 3 Double-Golds),
8 Silver Medals,
6 Bronze Medals,
2 Outstanding Awards,
and a Best of Show.

Our Pinots have been Official Selections for numerous festivals and featured wines with retailers, wine sites, and Best Of lists.

In ten fast-moving years we've gone from one spectacular Pinot to seven spectacular Willamette Valley wines, and the kudos we've received (see our Press page) confirm that our winemaking dream is being shared by wine lovers from all over.

Welcome to Carlton Cellars. We're an artisanal Winery, Vineyard & Tasting Room in the heart of Oregon wine country, passionate about making premium Pinot Noir and other fine wines in the Willamette Valley handcraft tradition.

Since 2001 we’ve been making the celebrated Roads End Oregon Pinot Noir in small runs sought after by critics and connoisseurs alike.

In 2007 we unveiled our estate wine to fresh acclaim: Cape Lookout Oregon Pinot Noir, made from the fruit of our Estate Vineyard in the ideal wine growing region of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA.

Since then we keep adding more Award-Winning Wines each year, and hosting a growing list of exciting wine-related Events.
