Description
Seven of Hearts features wines from distinct appellations within Oregon’s Willamette Valley and neighboring regions, including specific vineyards and portions of vineyards that show unique characteristics. Using traditional winemaking methods, our goal is small production distinctive wines of purity, complexity, and elegance. The label on the bottle, with its neoclassical elements, symbolizes our passion for the traditional old world style of Pinot noir. In the early 1980’s, Byron and his wife Dana were first introduced to wine through wine tasting excursions with friends while he was attending Oregon State University in the Willamette Valley. Byron says that to this day he can still taste some of the wines he first fell in love with back then. He and Dana moved to Illinois in 1985 and were introduced to European varietals, further igniting Byron’s passion for fine wine and beginning a deep respect of European wine making technique. They then began building vacations around wine tasting, visiting some of the premiere wine growing regions throughout the world.
