The Legacy of Cardwell Hill Cellars
Located just west of Corvallis, Oregon, Cardwell Hill Cellars is a family-owned winery that has been producing award-winning wines since 2000. Founded by Dan and Nancy Chapel, the winery sits atop the beautiful Cardwell Hill, where the terroir—characterized by its unique soil, elevation, and cool climate—creates the perfect environment for growing premium grapes.
What started as a passion project has blossomed into a respected name in Oregon’s wine industry, especially known for its exceptional Pinot Noir. Cardwell Hill’s commitment to sustainable farming practices and a hands-on approach to winemaking has earned them a dedicated following. Their wines are a true reflection of the land and the meticulous care that goes into each bottle.
The Wines of Cardwell Hill Cellars
Cardwell Hill produces a range of wines, but their standout offering is their Pinot Noir. Known for its complexity and vibrant acidity, their Pinot Noir is a perfect expression of the region’s terroir. However, the winery doesn’t stop there. It also offers delightful Pinot Gris and other varietals, each crafted to highlight the distinct flavors of the Willamette Valley.
Pinot Noir
Cardwell Hill’s Estate Pinot Noirs are wines that captures the essence of the Willamette Valley. With layers of red fruit, including raspberry and cherry, they are balanced with subtle earthiness and a soft, lingering finish. These wines are a wonderful example of the region’s ability to produce world-class Pinot Noirs, with flavors that evolve in the glass.
Their Fenders Blue Estate Pinot Noir (92pts WE) is a noteworthy offering. Named after the endangered Fender’s Blue butterfly, this wine is light and ethereal, with a delicate balance of cranberry and floral notes, making it a true expression of the unique environment in which the vines are cultivated.
Pinot Gris
For those who prefer white wine, Cardwell Hill’s Pinot Gris (Oregon Wine Awards Gold Medal) is an excellent choice. Sourced from the same estate vineyards as their Pinot Noir, the wine is vibrant and crisp with notes of green apple, citrus, and a touch of minerality. It’s a refreshing and versatile wine, perfect for everything from seafood to light salads.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Cardwell Hill Cellars prides itself on sustainable agricultural practices, certified member of SALMON SAFE and LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology), bee friendly farming, minimal intervention in the cellar, and a dedication to preserving the land for future generations. The winery is a testament to how great wines can be produced with respect for both the environment and the community.
