At CAW our vision is to create exceptional wines that are tempting, tantalizing, and satisfying to anyone who values the enjoyment of wine with food.

The Raven

CAW, an acronym for Coats and Whitney, is symbolized by the Raven. According to Northwest native legend, the Raven was the creator of the world. Although small, he was powerful enough to lay the foundation for something impressive.

The Vineyard

The Coats and Whitney Vineyard is a family-owned, sustainably-farmed, 10 acre site nestled in the low hills of the Yamhill Carlton Viticulture District midway between the townships of Carlton and Yamhill.  The vineyard has just been named as a LIVE Certified. Established in 2003, the vineyard sits at 500 feet and is planted exclusively to Pinot Noir with clones of Pommard and Wadenswil. The soils are Willakenzie, which are characteristically coarse-grained, ancient marine sediments that drain quickly establishing a natural moisture deficit that promotes early ripening. These soils on gently sloping Eastern, Western and Southern exposures give the vineyard its distinctive character producing wines of complexity and minerality.
