about the winery:

“Et Fille, which means “and daughter”, was co-founded in 2003 by father and daughter winemakers and is now in its second generation with daughter Jessica making elegantly complex wine inspired by her late father’s legacy and daughter’s future. We craft wines from our sustainably farmed vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley.”

tasting notes:

2017 willamette valley pinot noir

If this wine were an actor, it would be Steve Carell… you think it is just going to be light and fun, but it displays depth over time. It has a lively energy and a touch of tension. The cherry aroma gives way to a black cherry jam flavor accented with anise and orange peel.

2019 viognier wine makers select

This reminds me of looking at a Mondrian painting- it's linear, precise, and grabs your attention. It has a lovely aroma of elderflower and mandarin orange that gives way to a bright, lively palate of Asian pear, kumquat, and Meyer lemon with pomelo on the finish. The high acidity commands your focus, but is balanced by a silky smooth texture.
