Walk-ins welcome

“Year after year, the small Arterberry Maresh estate, helmed by third-generation winemaker Jim Maresh, impresses with its singular expressions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, a result of old vines and no-frills winemaking. Although just 6,000 cases of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are made annually, this family-run estate epitomizes the best of what Willamette Valley has to offer and is synonymous with Oregon’s old-vine heritage. The wines are concentrated yet elegant, fruity yet flinty and are some of the most impressive wines I’ve tried anywhere—not just in the US.” – Wine Advocate May 2023

Featuring

2022 Arterberry Maresh Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir

WINE ADVOCATE 96 POINTS
The 2022 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1974 and was vinified and matured without new wood. It has a deep well of aromas that unfold slowly with each return to the glass: raspberry, strawberry and bitter orange give way to rosewater, rooibos tea leaves, forest floor and salumi. The palate is charming and effortless, balancing concentrated layers of perfumed fruit on a slender frame of silky tannins, and its vivacious energy and hauntingly long finish call you back to the glass again and again. While the 2021 Maresh Vineyard is chiseled and needs cellaring, this 2022 is already approachable.

Jim Maresh SeniorFounder

From the Oregonian: “The Willamette Valley is missing a giant today. James “Jim” Maresh, Sr., the man who shaped the region’s wine history with his pioneering vineyard, died in his Dundee home on March 6. He was one month shy of his 95th birthday.”
