A native Oregonian, Dru Allen was born in Portland and raised in Salem. His connection to the Willamette Valley grew over time through a love of Pinot Noir and the craft behind it. After building a logistics business with his wife Erin, he followed that pull into the work of growing and making wine.
Dru and Erin knew they wanted to steward this site the moment they saw it. He is drawn to the way vineyard and winery life invites both detail and creativity, from farming to fermentation to welcoming people in. For Dru, wine is one of the clearest ways to understand place and to share it through each vintage and every visit.
