Rue Cler’s small batch wines are crafted from thoughtfully selected vineyards across the Pacific Northwest. Our earliest vintages drew from Columbia Valley, Walla Walla, and the Willamette Valley AVA. In 2019 we expanded into the Rocks District AVA in Milton‑Freewater to create our premium black label lineup. More recently, we’ve added fruit from the EOLA–Amity Hills and Ribbon Ridge AVA showcasing just how exceptional Willamette Valley fruit can be.

This piece of land is very special to us. Not only did our very first Pinot vintage come off these vines, but it is owned and cared for by Aaron's family; Bill and Shari Price. They purchased the land in 2017 and have breathed new life into the property with hours of sweat and seasons of hard work. Ten Peaks is located in the Willamette Valley AVA just outside of McMinnville, Oregon. It is 7 and a half acres planted with 3 different blocks of Pinot Noir. Here you will find Dijon Clones of 667, 115 and 777. The vineyard sits at a peak elevation of 600 feet and resides in a coastal-like mesoclimate. The temperatures stay around 10 degrees colder than the valley due to the cool mountain air flowing off of the Oregon Coastal Range. Bud break, veraison and harvest all happen a little later up here compared to other vineyards in the Willamette Valley. These conditions lend to the acidity found in Ten Peaks fruit allowing us to make truly special and unique vintages.
We source fruit from Ten Peaks to craft our Pinot Noir, Rosé and White Pinot Noir.

The Ancient Stones vineyard is co-owned by Betz Family Winery and Siren Song Wines. It was originally planted in 2007 and now has just over 12 acres under production. The two clones of Syrah we source for our wines are Phelps and Tablas Creek. This vineyard, like most out in the Rocks District is littered with stones and lies in an ancient riverbed. This dry riverbed provides a combination of well draining soil and stones that reach far below the surface. Up to 60 feet below in some areas! This creates a truly unique environment for the growing grapes and results in wines that are distinctive and have that “Rocks” character we just can't get enough of!

Originally maintained and managed by the legendary Ryan Driver, Riviere Galets is a 12 acre vineyard found in The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater AVA. These vines are rooted in a riverbed where water once flowed and flooded across the area. Smooth river rocks can be found above and well below the soil. These rocks absorb and radiate heat keeping the vines warm throughout the growing season. This results in concentrated ripe fruit perfect for making complex wines. From this vineyard we source Grenache and Mourvedre for our black label Sparkling Grenache PétNat + GSM red blend.

West Wind Vineyard sits at 300-800 feet elevation in the Ribbon Ridge AVA in Newberg Oregon. Founded and farmed by Piper Underbrink and Ben Stalker, the site is shaped by the cool western winds funneled through the Gaston corridor, preserving acidity and balance in the fruit. Exclusively planted to Pinot Noir clones 115, Pommard, 777, 943, and Wädenswil, West Wind produces focused, energetic wines that reflect the vineyard’s breezy climate and Willakenzie marine sedimentary soils.

Cubanisimo Vineyard is a southeast‑facing site in the EOLA–Amity Hills AVA, planted primarily to Pinot Noir clones Pommard, Wadenswil, 115, and 117. Sitting at roughly 650 feet of elevation, vines are rooted in classic Jory and Nekia volcanic soils. Roughly 12 acres planted, this vineyard produces fruit with natural acidity yielding vibrant, expressive Willamette Valley wines.
