Since 2001, Roads End Oregon Pinot Noir was the Carlton Cellars wine list. And we couldn't have asked for a better list. Until now. Because the End is only the beginning.

One word says it all... Estate. We're proud to be releasing this phenomenal Pinot Noir from our very own Russell-Grooters vineyard. Look out for full red berries, sweet spice, and dark fruit notes, all seamlessly integrated into a tremendous finish.

The 2006 vintage is now available. At a mere 125 cases, it may not be around for long. See the Cape Lookout web page for details and tasting notes. And come taste it with us at one of our May tasting events.

Here's what promises to be a once-in-a-while treat, which we'll only bring out when the vintage is right. This exceptional dry rosé, exclusively from Willamette Valley Pinot Noir grapes, balances refreshing crispness with the rich character of its varietal.

Find out about this very limited bottling on the Agate Beach web page, and taste it along with the 2006 Roads End and Cape Lookout at one of our upcoming events.

$10 gets you tastings of all three Carlton Cellars wines, plus the wines of Raptor Ridge and Atticus, all under one roof. See our website for details.

Our Connoisseurs Club actually tasted and pre-ordered Cape Lookout at the exclusive pre-Thanksgiving Preview last fall. That's one of the perks of membership. The upcoming CCCC preview event on May 18 (free and open only to members) is another.
