Martin Woods is hidden in Oregon's oak-forested Coast Range foothills near the town of McMinnville, a neighborhood advantageously influenced by cool Pacific ocean air blowing into the Willamette Valley. The winery is also the home of owner/winemaker Evan Martin.
A Martin Woods wine promotes the notions of graceful power and elegant complexity — a beautifully balanced tension of opposites that can only result from the combination of great terroir, observant farming, and meticulous, patient winemaking.
Evan continues to push the boundaries of what Willamette Valley Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can and should be, while simultaneously exploring artisan productions of Syrah, Riesling, Gamay and other varietals, each project inspired and informed by the truly benchmark wines of the Old World, yet simultaneously authentic to its Oregon terroir.
