“This farm is 140 acres. Once fruit orchards, the land slowly gave way to vineyards, starting in 1970 when Jim and Loie met Dick Erath. He convinced them to plant wine grapes, spawning the fifth vineyard in Oregon and the first vineyard on Worden Hill Road.
Today, the Maresh family grows Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, White Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, mostly south slope, 500 feet to 200 feet, on Jory soils.”
