VIDEO: La Bohème Vineyard

The La Bohème Vineyard Block sits on the steep hillside to the northwest of our winery in Gaston, Oregon. Visitors to our tasting room often stop to appreciate its stunning views and take a few photos.
La Bohème Pinot Noir

We planted La Bohème Vineyard in 1985 by selecting the very best vines from our original Estate Pommard plantings. Pat and Joe Campbell named the vineyard after the family who sold them the property – and their favorite Puccini opera.  This picturesque vineyard overlooks the winery and the Coast Range mountains and rises to over 800 feet, making it one of the highest elevation vineyard sites in the Willamette Valley.  La Bohème was planted using cuttings from vines selected for small cluster size and intense flavors, hallmarks of the world’s finest Pinot Noirs.  We prune and cluster-thin La Bohème heavily to limit yields and to maximize ripening and flavor concentration.
