This wine’s story:This is the fourth release of “Origins,” our flagship Pinot Noir. We love Oregon Pinot just as much as we love paying homage to our Origins. This year’s label features a photo of Cassandra’s mom Valrie and her grandfather Robert Chambers on Valrie’s wedding day in 1981. Apparently wedding cowboy hats were a thing back then and we think that’s a trend that needs to come back! Valrie is NP’s biggest cheerleader and we know Bob is raising a glass above with a smile! Cheers to all our origins!
