2024 Wild Bee Chardonnay

1116 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label – charcoal drawing of a ‘wild’ bee by April Coppini
release date: March 4th, 2026
$34

2024 Wild bee Chardonnay - this is a true Willamette Valley blend. We work with seven different sites all within the Willamette Valley, but each distinct.  Each lot and each barrel are treated with equal diligence so the disparity between this bottling and the three others we make is personal preference (mine, sometimes Clare chimes in!)  but the quality is the same. I prefer the taste of barrels that have been used once or twice or more so I often choose those for the elusive queen or the AVA blends leaving - most of the new barrels to go into the wild bee. Don't be alarmed - I am only talking about a handful - maybe 10% overall and when blended this way = delicious! Just a hint of vanilla and woodspice to add to everything else that is going on.  With no offense taken - many people prefer this wine to the others that I make, and for the price it is often lauded and compared to wines of greater pedigree and price!  Artwork by April Coppini - we enjoy the energy of her charcoal on paper and own this drawing and license it from her to use for the label.  Yes! Six or more of this wine and shipping is on us!

tasting notes -
The Wild Bee greets you with white flower and warm spice followed by a few wafts of dry summer grasses.  This wine feels alive dare I say it - buzzing. It starts like a warm apple pie on the window sill and finishes with the acid holding in suspension lemon chiffon and anise. - 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!

2024 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

2153 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label:  Thelma and Louise of big table farm
release date: March 4th, 2026
$50

This wine is a true Willamette Valley blend, with five of the seven Chardonnay sites we work with also providing pinot noir plus a few more that solely provide Pinot, so fruit from many parts of the valley, each of the vineyards and their owners contribute the pieces and personalities that make up the whole of this wine. I do make the selections for the single vineyard wines and Earth first so this wine is made of what is left - but it always takes on a life of its’ own and like the wild bee it is our largest bottling of pinot noir at about 2000 cases.  It is only at the end of elevage that I make the barrel selections so all are treated with equal diligence. We built our winery here on the farm in 2014 with only minimal changes in wine making since then - we graduated from a small basket press to a slightly larger one a few years ago - otherwise same same - native whole cluster ferments,  unfined and unfiltered – and if you have enjoyed past vintages, then surely this one will fit the bill too!  Still the ‘pig’ wine, Thelma and Louise on the label

tasting notes-
Our Willamette Valley evokes washing a freshly picked bouquet garni with a cherry pie baking in the oven. The through line of tannin and acidity tell me it’s one that will reward a little patience. Dark cherry, licorice and warm spices play with the savory sweetness married with nice acidity that lets you hang on into a long finish. - Cheers! Clare


2024 Pelos Sandberg Pinot Noir

227 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label: knife and fork vineyard row marker
release date: March 4th, 2026
$72

2024 Pelos Sandberg Vineyard pinot noir - great friend and pretty good grape grower - Don Sandberg likes to joke with some seriousness about his site being ‘grand cru’.  With this as his mantra he puts heart and soul into his vineyard and the grapes he produces each vintage. We have similar visions - make the best we can, make the best that is possible - we compare notes often and the picking window for his wines under the Iota brand and ours are often in the same day, or next day, depending on logistics. His dedication to quality is inspiring and helps me produce the best that I can each year - this 2024 is no different! Cutlery on the end posts (and the label) mark the blocks of this vineyard that we have been working with since 2010. Thank you Don and cheers! I hope you enjoy this wine as much as we do! For sure - free shipping on six of this one too, but I'm pretty sure you want a case!

tasting notes -
Pelos opens with powerful aromatics of warm bread slathered in blackberry jam. Crushed raspberry is balanced by dark fruit and plumb giving this wine both fruit and a savory complexity. Cherry Kirsch blended with dried sage and rosemary give 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

2023 The Rocks Syrah- Funk Estate

146 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label: a vine in the rocks
release date: March 4th, 2026
$72 

This wine spends an extra year in barrel to soften and mature - so it is a year behind - or ‘overvintaged’.  2024 and 2025 are still in barrel. We make just a little bit of this wine, 150 cases or so each year, but I love having it in the cellar. It is so different from pinot and yet still such a food friendly wine. It is an Oregon wine but Milton Freewater is a world apart from the Willamette Valley – the ‘stones’ are omnipresent and the climate much dryer - perfect for syrah.  The fruit and resulting wine are distinct and delicious! Like the pinot, the winemaking for this wine has not changed since we started buying the fruit from Rich in 2016, in fact I use the exact same fermenter for it each year. Usually this is the first fruit in the door - but this year pinot started filling up the winery first and I had to set aside the syrah fermenter so that it didn't get filled up with pinot! Also made with whole cluster, native ferment - and lots of foot stomping - but we wash our feet first!  So if you enjoyed past vintages of this wine this vintage will continue to please as well.

Our rocks Syrah invites you in with violet and blue fruit followed by figs wrapped in bacon, showing hues of both sweetness and depth. Although this wine starts with fruit, it shape shifts into to rich dark flavors of pomegranate, plum and coffee. The finish reminds me of a fine raw coco as I continue to enjoy this lifted yet savory wine. - Cheers! Clare

Big Table Wine Handmade Labels Image Collage

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.
