 
The Pursuit of a Dream
Seven of Hearts features wines from distinct appellations within Oregon's Willamette Valley and neighboring regions, including specific vineyards and portions of vineyards that show unique characteristics. Using traditional winemaking methods, our goal is small production wines of great purity, complexity, and elegance.

Seven of Hearts Wine Club
 Designed for the loyal followers of our wines, the Seven of Hearts Wine Club was created as a way to obtain our limited production wines at significant discounts, as well as other club benefits. Wine Club members will receive the second of our two annual packages in early November, ahead of the public release of these wines, which will include a selection of our new releases from the 2009 vintage:
- 2009 Luminous Hills Estate Grown Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton
- 2009 Luminous Hills Estate Grown Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton LUX
- 2009 Seven of Hearts Coupe's
Cuvée Pinot Noir Dessert Wine
- 2009 Chatte d'Avignon Grenache (60%) & Syrah (40%), Columbia Valley WA
- 2009 Chatte d'Avignon Grenache (100%) Columbia Valley Washington
- 2009 Chatte d'Avignon Syrah (100%) Columbia Valley Washington
Starting with our last release in Spring 2010, we creating more flexibility in our Wine Club program, by offering a standard selection of wines, but also providing the opportunity for members to select specific quantities of each newly released wine, as well as to substitute any wines still available from prior releases. With the success of that program in the Spring, we've formally made it a permanent feature of the wine club. After all, it's about getting you the wine you want the most!
