Mountain

Chehalem Mountains

A historic Willamette Valley vineyard shaped by elevation, sedimentary complexity, lifted citrus, white flowers, wet stone, and saline length.

The Vineyard

A historic mountain site of lift, texture, and mineral precision.

Chehalem Mountain Vineyard is one of the historic sites of the northern Willamette Valley, first planted in 1969 on the southern edge of the Chehalem Mountains.

The vineyard sits in a high-elevation AVA known for a mosaic of marine sedimentary, volcanic, and windblown loess soils, giving Chardonnay both texture and mineral detail.

For 00 Wines, Chehalem Mountain speaks through lemon pith, white flowers, wet stone, fine-grained texture, mouthwatering acidity, and a long saline finish.

Site Character

Historic. Elevated. Saline.

Chehalem Mountain Vineyard carries the freshness and fine detail of the northern Willamette Valley. Its mountain setting and sedimentary complexity give Chardonnay a taut frame, lifted aromatics, and a fine-grained mineral line.

The Chardonnay moves through lemon pith, white flowers, wet stones, orchard fruit, and saline persistence, balancing quiet concentration with energy and precision.

Pinot Noir from this site leans toward red cherry, raspberry, rose, forest floor, spice, and a lifted mountain frame shaped by cool-climate structure.
