1789 
Oregon Pinot Noir With A French Accent



Picture

Isabelle Dutartre
Over 40 Years of Winemaking 

Born in Paris with roots in Burgundy, after studying winemaking for 5 years at the University of Bourgogne in France, I then worked for 12 years at Joseph Drouhin in Beaune Burgundy France. In 1993 I started making wine in Oregon and commuted back and forth many times per year between Oregon and France. I am currently the winemaker for De Ponte Cellars in the Dundee Hills, Oregon and have been since their first vintage in 2001.
1789 is my own label and 2007 the first release. The name comes from the French Revolution. The wine is the symbol of my personal revolution: the move of my family from the South of France to the Oregon Wine Country.
I hope you will enjoy the wine as much as I enjoyed making it.
