“Cavallotto may very well be the greatest Barolo producer few people have ever heard of, something that continues to mystify me…Readers who appreciate a firm, classic style of Barolo will want to spend some time getting to know Cavallotto.” – Antonio Galloni

Cavallotto is a top tier, old school producer of Barolo.  Their wines are impressively age-worthy yet somehow manage to stay at the edges of the mainstream Barolo drinker. That is something we’d like to change.  These are incredibly expressive wines and are very true to their vineyard terroirs.
 
Antoni Galloni describes them as “made in a style that offers the fruit density of contemporary Barolos with the structural underpinnings that are found in more traditionally made wines.”  

New Arrival Featurette:
 
Hundred Suns
 

Renée Saint-Amour and Grant Coulter’s  love of adventure and Oregon wines brought them to the Valley. Grant worked as winemaker at Beaux Freres and Flâneur before this wife-and-husband team launched Hundred Suns as a boutique winery and purchased Breaker Vineyard, a fifty-year-old site in the Eola-Amity Hills and now home to them, their kids, and their winery. They do everything by hand, from crafting their wines, distributing in town, and even their stunning label-design.
 
Their Pinots drink like a love letter to the Willamette Valley. These are unique, from an assortment of some of the most interesting vineyards in the Willamette Valley including one of our favorites, Bednarik, which rose to fame via Ken Wright’s bottlings, and Sequitur, Mike Etzel’s estate (Mike is best known as the founding winemaker of Beaux Freres).
