A native Oregonian, Dru Allen was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. His journey from logistics to wine is a story of passion realized. After building a successful business with his wife Erin, Dru set out to turn his love for Willamette Valley Pinot Noir into a hands-on pursuit. Starting from scratch, he dove deep into the intricacies of winemaking—experimenting with varietals, fermentation techniques, and everything in between. What drives Dru every day is the thrill of building this dream alongside Erin and the talented team at Compris. It’s about growing exceptional wine, nurturing a welcoming community, and creating something lasting for all to enjoy.
