IBN : Oak Knoll Winery, Wine distributors

An Oregon wine industry pioneer since 1970, Oak Knoll Winery is operated by the second generation family members. In keeping with the foundations of the vision of our founder, our wines are 100% varietal and reflect the region of the beautiful Willamette Valley, Oregon. Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is the focus of red wine production with sub AVA blends, single vineyards and reserve levels.

Oak Knoll has positioned itself as a leader in Oregon Pinot Gris with its combination of attractive fruit character and crisp, refreshing finish. The winery’s guiding principles to crafting the best wines possible are tried and true: utilize the best grapes possible from low-yielding older vines and then rely on four decades of winemaking experience to handcraft the finest expressions possible from each grape variety. The winery’s “style” emphasizes forward fruit, solid structure, complexity, and agreeability. The wines should also reflect the character of the region. The second generation has managed to consistently marry quality and affordability in the bottle.

Our general winemaking philosophy is to strive to produce wines that display their inherent varietal character in its purest form. Quality grapes produce great wine. We utilize grape varieties that perform will in the cooler climate of the Willamette Valley appellation.

"Our goal is to make consistent, high quality table wines
that express themselves best when paired with food.”

Frambrosia Oregon Raspberry wine takes the category of "berry wine" to a new height. Fine wine shops and restaurants seek out this wine for its pure, concentrated depth of flavor, and its ability to match exquisitely with a wide range of desserts. As an alternative to late harvest wine, port, or sherry

Frambrosia is a delight to anyone who enjoys the true essence of this marvelous fruit. Oak Knoll Winery has established itself as one of the premier producers of pure, superior quality raspberry wine in the United States, if not the world. With a reliable source of excellent Oregon red raspberries, and thirty years of winemaking experience, this wine has consistently ranked as one of the highest rated and most sought-after "dessert style" wines in North America.

The key element to the success of this unique wine is its precise sugar/acid balance. Many fruit or berry wines are simply too sweet. The excessive sweetness is cloying and masks the wine's true fruit flavors. When there is just enough sweetness to balance the naturally high acidity found in raspberries, you achieve that wonderful smell and taste of fresh picked raspberries, as if you picked them right off the vine and popped them into your mouth
