2025 Wines
2024 The Laughing Pig Rosé
403 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$36
We made the 2024 Rosé with a direct press fruit that was placed on top of an equal amount of fruit and allowed to soak and slowly ferment for several days. This was then pressed and transferred to neutral barrels. As we have always done, the ‘24 Laughing Pig Rosé was fermented to dryness with malolactic complete and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
tasting notes-
This rosé has a floral nose of bright strawberry, orange cordial, and camomile tea. Your first sip gives tart cherry and sweet ripe strawberries. The finish is gives a little spice which balanced with a rich mouth feel. This is a dry and complex rose that compliments lots of food and is a beautifully and balanced wine!
2023 Wild Bee Chardonnay
1122 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label – charcoal drawing of a ‘wild’ bee by April Coppini
release date: March 4th, 2025
$34
The Wild Bee is an assembly of different vineyards that in the end, make a mosaic that is colorful and vibrant and richly textured. The Wild bee especially is consistent as well as delicious with each vintage and the 23 delivers just as all the past vintages have. I certainly use a refractometer to measure sugar as I sample chardonnay vineyards, but I also taste as I go and crunch the seeds and skins and observe the canopy and watch the weather like a hawk. The proof is in the pudding (Glass in this case)! I love fruit in my wines, but also the balance that comes from the natural acidity and the texture that comes from the extended lees contact and stirring. I just poured myself a glass of this, and while unfiltered it is brilliantly clear, each barrel carefully racked just before bottling to ensure the vitality of the wine is captured, and the sediment is left behind. There's definitely a new oak component to this wine but balanced by fruit and some spice. Cheers! Brian
tasting notes -
You are greeted with a collision of white flower and warm spice. This wine tempts me like a piece of left over apple pie on the counter in the morning. Freshly cut apples leads a smooth lead to a comforting warm curd and vanilla bean profile reminds me of a lemon Madeleine cookie. This wine finished with a beautiful lifted acid bringing you back for more. - Cheers! Clare
2023 Yamhill Carlton Chardonnay
92 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$48
label - blossoms for the big table farm bees
A blend comprised of fruit from Yates Conwill Vineyard and Quandary vineyard. As always - barrel fermented to dryness, ML complete and bottled without fining or filtration. We had the 2017 version of this wine at a wine dinner a week ago and I was impressed (and relieved!)
The aromatics keep bringing me to the pear trees out side my kitchen that are ripening as I type this. The palate in contrast has so much warmth as if that same pear has been baked into a graham cracker crust with a surprising mineral finish it like a polished river-rock.
2023 Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay
87 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$48
label- big table farm honeybees
2023 Eola Amity Chardonnay - Bieze Vineyard has been part of our Chardonnay program since first fruit in 2011 - we have been using the same rows and blocks since, and it is an important part of our Eola Amity blend - consistently delicious! It is blended with X Omni which we've also been working with since first fruit in 2016, and together they make a great representation of what the Eola Amity hills can produce for Chardonnay. The Van duzer corridor of wind cools the hills in the evening and the southern exposure makes for warm days and perfect ripeness and crispness together. I am fortunate to work with these two great vineyards and hope that you find the wine as delicious as we do!
The nuanced aromatics of white peach and and warm pie crust greet you. But don’t be fooled this wine has a back bone of acidity that keeps bringing me back to the brightness of apricots. The finish has a pithy edge that keeps you coming back for more.
2024 Pinot Gris
125 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$38
label-vetch from our pasture
the 2024 Pinot Gris barrels are tasting great, but yet to be bottled - August 26 is the scheduled date. the Pinot Gris is grown by Brian O’donnell of Belle Ponte fame. We ferment it as we do the Pinot - throw it in a fermenter, stomp on it, and let it go! I taste it as it starts to ferment and when I think it is perfect then we drain and press it once it has picked up enough tannin. Always a great wine for seafood, approximately 125 cases to be bottled and like the 2023 laughing pig rose - always a harbinger of what to come next year!
2023 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
2154 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label: Laverne and Shirley of big table farm
release date: March 4th, 2025
$50
This wine is a true Willamette Valley blend and ticks all the boxes for delicious Pinot Noir - bright fruit, savory spice, mouthwatering finish and a perfect companion to such a wide variety of foods. All of our vineyards lend a helping hand to this blend. I make earth, the vineyard designates, the salud and auction wine first, and then all the remaining barrels are blended to make willamette valley, so it is a kitchen sink. But all the ferments and barrels are treated with equal diligence, so it is based on my preference, so of course, if someone else were to decide, they might make entirely different decisions and blends. All lots are fermented as whole cluster and with whatever yeast blows in the door. Each lot is gently trod by foot several times with at least one time by me! With over 30 lots to do I get a workout by the end of harvest. There are some new barrels in this blend but most are matured in older barrels so the influence of oak is minimal. Cheers! Brian
tasting notes-
This wine instantly transports me to picking blackberries in our back field in late august. But then once in my mouth is decidedly lighter with cranberry, but the warm spices are still very present along with more brambly notes of huckleberry jam with its savory sweetness. The finish is earl gray tea leaves with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg that gently lingers. - Cheers! Clare
2023 Pelos Sandberg Pinot Noir
244 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label: knife and fork vineyard row marker
release date: March 4th, 2025
$72
Our good friend Don has been selling us the literal fruit of his labor since 2010. The quality and consistency is top-notch - my job once he drops it off is to not screw it up! We buy about 4.5 acres - half is Pommard, the other half 777 and some wadensville. Some of each end up in this blend, similar to the ratio we get from the vineyard. It is all different but all fantastic so it can be difficult to decide which barrels end up in the blend. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it! We get the same rows and blocks year in and year out. Don has marked the end posts with thrift store silverware - so this is the inspiration for the art that adorns the label. - Cheers! Brian
tasting notes -
This wine opens with powerful aromatics of candied bacon and warm dates. A vibrant burst of raspberry jam coats the palate with a rich sweetness balanced immediately by a savory complexity. The jam, orange peel and brandied-cherry, ground the aromatic profile. Savory notes of dried sage, rosemary and sweet cedar notes give this wine a beautiful lifted finish. - Cheers! Clare
2023 Cattrall Brothers Vineyard Pinot Noir
109 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$72
label-Bill and Tom’s ‘46 Ford flatbed
Cattrall Brothers Vineyard, the high elevation and Northeast aspect to make this vineyard a slow ripener and always one of our last to come in. don't let the color fool you! Pinot noir is a thin skin variety and sometimes doesn't yield a lot of color, but it will still pack a punch! aromas of red fruit forest Floor, on the pallet tart cherry That lingers into the finish with a touch of brioche all at 11.9%. It's not the size of the dog…
Sadly Bill Cattrall passed away this spring, we will remember his kind spirit and be inspired by his pioneering commitment to organic viticulture every time we open a bottle from his and brother Tom’s vineyard. rip
Belied by its faint appearance, an almost sweet aroma that makes me think of strawberries and rhubarb. A delicate thread of blood orange muddled strawberries and plum enlivens the palate. This wine finishes with lift and warm spices.
2023 Yamhill Carlton Pinot Noir
230 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$72
label- Yamhill barn
2023 Yamhill Carlton Pinot Noir is a super fun wine for me to make. It is a reflection of the vintage and the AVA (American viticultural area) from my perspective. we source fruit from Coats and Whitney (since2011) and Yates Conwell (since 2014), and then I choose my favorite barrels from each to make the wine, balancing the power and tannin and juicy fruit and lusciousness to make the perfect combination. This wine is an easy favorite, a comfort food of sorts. as I often say - I get to make what I wanna drink! This wine is an easy go to!
Aromas of orange zest meld with the rich notions of cola, dark cherry, licorice. Then on fist sip it’s over for me luscious red fruit a dense core of dried bramble berries, black cherry cola and pomegranate molasses. I finish with brandied dark cherry and warm soft tannins.
2023 Sunnyside Vineyard Pinot Noir
252 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$72
label- big table farm hens
Luci and Tom are still at it! They take care of their 8 acre vineyard themselves with the exception being harvest. The vineyard was planted in 1970 and they purchased it in the mid 80s and have been devoted to nurturing it year and year out ever since. I started working with them in 2011, so this will be 15 years! Time flies! The 23 version is true Sunnyside pinot noir. All the dark fruit plus all the spice. I love the wine and know you will too!
Leather and Spice and everything nice. This wine leads with sandalwood, and dried rose on the nose but the palate is all dark fruit, think blackberry preserves and a hint of tanned leather to warm you up
2022 The Rocks Syrah- Funk Estate
144 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label: a vine in the rocks
release date: March 4th, 2024
$72
It is such a joy to work with a little bit of syrah. Don't get me wrong I love pinot noir however it is nice to have something a little different from time to time. The thicker skins of syrah make a wine that is dark and a little more tannic so we give it an additional year in barrel to soften and mature. Not to worry it is still bright and fresh and lively. It has the dark fruit and olive and spice that makes Syrah so lovely. Rich Funk of Saviah grows and sells us the fruit for this wine. He does a great job and we look forward to working with him and his family into the future! The 23 and 24 vintages are in the cellar and progressing nicely - more good stuff to come! Clare came with me this year to pick up the fruit and it inspired her to draw a new label! - Cheers! Brian
On first introduction this wine gives generously: dried black cherry, cedar and sweet teriyaki, showing hues of both sweetness and depth. I’m surprised when I take my first sip how light and almost ethereal it is. Then the curtain opens to rich dark flavors of pomegranate, plum and coffee. The finish is like a fine 80% dark chocolate as I continue to enjoy this lifted yet savory wine. - Cheers! Clare

our labels
The labels on our wines are made by hand using a letterpress and thick printmaking paper. When you hold a bottle of our wine, you'll notice our labels are much thicker; this is because of the printmaking process we use.
After the labels are cut, we hand apply each one. Then our bottles are carefully wrapped in tissue to preserve the paper's texture and beauty. While very labor-intensive, this makes for an elegant package that not only befits its contents but also produces less waste than traditional label printing.
The art is drawn by Clare and inspired by our life here at Big Table Farm, which is why all the labels feature a farm tool or an animal from the farm. The art on the labels are unique to each vintage.
