August Cellars
August Cellars produces wines from Oregon's Willamette Valley, a region celebrated for elegant Pinot Noir and aromatic white varieties. The winery's Aubre Vert Vineyard Pinot Noir demonstrates the valley's capacity for structured, nuanced reds. Alongside this flagship, August Cellars crafts a Riesling and Dry Gewürztraminer that reflect the region's cool-climate character—wines marked by precision and balance rather than ripeness. Decanter and Wine Enthusiast have rated the portfolio, with the Pinot Noir earning particular recognition. The winery's focus spans the classic Willamette expression: Pinot Noir's silken tannins and red-fruit profile, paired with the mineral tension and aromatic intensity of Germanic-style whites.
