VINTAGE & TERROIR
 
 
A STORY OF TIME AND PLACE
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The vineyard feels alive.
 
 
The days are long and warm, and each week seems to move a little faster than the last. Clusters have softened, the berries are beginning to reveal who they'll become, and if the season continues on its current course, we'll welcome the first fruit of harvest in early September.
The cellar is stirring again. Bins are stacked, presses are ready, and each morning begins with a walk through the vineyard. Before we begin writing the next vintage, we're grateful to share the wines that tell the story of the last.
 
 
THE FALL RELEASE
 
 
FIVE WINES. THREE SEASONS. ONE PHILOSOPHY.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Every vintage leaves its own fingerprint.
 
 
These wines span three remarkable growing seasons, each reflecting a different moment in the life of the vineyard. Together, they speak to the generosity, restraint, and quiet confidence that come from farming the same land, year after year.
 
 
2024 Marsanne Roussanne
For the first time, Roussanne takes the lead, revealing just how beautifully it has found its home at Cowhorn. D'Anjou pear, nectarine, mandarin blossom, and gentle spice unfold across a palate of creamy salinity, vibrant freshness, and remarkable balance.

 
2024 Orange
No two vintages of our Orange wine are ever alike. This year, Roussanne joins Viognier and Marsanne for the first time, bringing floral lift, spice, and greater precision. Tangerine peel, apricot, chamomile, sandalwood, and beeswax lead into fresh, grippy tannins and a beautifully textured finish.

 
 
2024 Pinot Noir
Our second vintage with Pinot Noir from Johan Vineyard, our sister estate, deepens our understanding of this extraordinary site. Raspberry bramble, wild strawberry, rose hips, rooibos tea, and forest floor are carried on a palate that is vibrant, elegant, and quietly enduring.

 
2023 Syrah
The long, measured 2023 season gave us a Syrah of exceptional poise. Black plum, dark cherry, olive tapenade, white pepper, violets, and cacao unfold across a wine that is energetic, finely structured, and unmistakably Cowhorn.

 
 
2022 Sentience
Co-fermented with a small amount of Viognier, Sentience is drawn from the vineyard's most expressive parcels. Lavender, sage, wet stone, marionberry, tart cherry, and iron come together in a wine of remarkable depth, precision, and persistence.

Join us for a fall release party celebrating the debut of our newest wines—from the luminous energy of Orange and Marsanne Roussanne to the elegance of Pinot, the depth of Estate Syrah, and the soulful expression of Sentience—an invitation to taste the season as it arrives.

 
 
Timeless grooves.
 
 
Dean Angermeier, better known as “Mr. Steely,” brings sophisticated jazz, rock, soul, and timeless grooves to our Fall Release Party, where new wines meet unforgettable musicianship against the backdrop of rolling vineyards, wood-fired pizza, and the Applegate Valley.
