From my Amazing, Moody, Foggy Saturday morning... The food, the trees, the rainbow, and having my first Lighthouse BBQ Burger in over 2 years. (Boca patty, sautéed mushrooms and homemade BBQ sauce, homegrown veggies, and home fries. OMFG GLORIOUS)

If you haven’t spent any time in the Umpqua Valley in Southern Oregon, you gotta do it. The Jones family at Abacela has put Tempranillo on the map.

For the Joneses, Tempranillo was a mystery to be unlocked. “To be worthwhile, a novel wine must taste like a world standard, and for almost all varieties, that is a wine grown, produced, and bottled in its European homeland,” said Earl Jones. “Our Tempranillo tastes like Spanish Tempranillo, exhibiting typicity with an Oregon fingerprint. Planting in the right place has resulted in fruit of very high quality.”

Abacela’s focus remains on making balanced yet expressive wines while respecting the unique terroir of Umpqua Valley. “We ferment in small batches with gentle and controlled extraction techniques to optimize aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and structure. We use oak for élevage but are judicious with new oak to preserve the nuances of each wine,” said Gavin Joll, General Manager at Abacela
