Evesham Wood & Haden Fig
After studying wine in Germany, the late Russ Raney founded the Evesham Wood winery in 1986. He took his inspiration from Burgundy and Alsace, planting Pinot Noir and aromatic white varieties. He was an inspiring figure in the Valley who influenced many folks in the industry.
After working with the founder and winemaker of Evesham Wood for several years, Erin Nuccio took over as winemaker and owner in 2010 while developing his own original label, Haden Fig. Under Erin’s stewardship, the already topnotch winery has continued to improve, showcasing the profound terroir of the land.
The estate vineyard, Le Puits Sec, is planted on an east facing slope with iron-rich soils overlooking the Willamette River. It is certified organic and, as a founding member of the Deep Roots Coalition, is dry farmed. The winery is certified organic, too.
While the Evesham Wood wines tend toward elegance and the Haden Fig wines towards more fruit-forward notes, both are expressive examples of their (all dry-farmed) vineyards. Erin’s aim is to continue in the style of minimal intervention at optimal (not over-) ripeness and reduced yields to allow vineyards to express themselves.
Erin Nuccio is doing something harder than founding a revered wine label: keeping and improving the standards that made Evesham Wood famous. We’re proud to carry an extensive lineup from this benchmark estate, as well as gorgeous selections from Haden Fig—all of which are on sale now!

This is the only listing in the USA today!
Evesham Wood Le Puits Sec Chardonnay, Eola-Amity Hills 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $36, that’s $34.20 at 5% off and $32.40 at 10% off, 7 bottles in stock now
Eric Guido-Vinous 93 points “Do not sleep on the 2023 Chardonnay Le Puits Sec, as it takes a full 24 hours to show its best. The nose is sweetly scented, with nuanced aromatics of lemon oil, candied apple, mint and a lift of pine. Pliant and round, it soothes with its giving nature while crisp mineral tones add gravitas, all supported by fresh acidity. The finish is long yet refreshing, leaving the senses completely cleansed as a hint of chamomile slowly fades. (Drink between 2026-2031).”
Evesham Wood Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $21.90, that’s $20.81 at 5% off and $19.71 at 10% off, 33 bottles in stock now
Eric Guido-Vinous 90 points “The 2023 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is understated and coy, with an enticing bouquet of dusty rose, crushed cherries and autumnal spice filling the glass. Silken and polished, it offers radiant red berry fruits and a gentle tug of crunchy minerals for balance. This 2023 finishes with excellent length and leaves a cascade of inner florals to fade slowly. (Drink between 2025-2028).”
Evesham Wood La Grive Bleue Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $39, that’s $37.05 at 5% off and $35.10 at 10% off, 11 bottles in stock now
Eric Guido-Vinous 94 points “The 2022 Pinot Noir La Grive Bleue is distinctly savory. It opens with an herbal thrust of rosemary and sage before evolving into wild blueberries, wilted violets and flowery underbrush. This is youthfully lean and compact, washing across the palate with silken textures and a refined blend of red berries and spice. It tapers off with tense tannins, a firm acid spine and hints of tangerine, leaving the taster completely enamored. Readers should wait another year or two to indulge in this bottle. (Drink between 2026-2032).”

Evesham Wood La Grive Bleue Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $39, that’s $37.05 at 5% off and $35.10 at 10% off, 6 bottles in stock now
Winery Note “A voluminous, textural delight. As the vines near 30 years old, La Grive Bleue picks up classic Le Puits Sec notes of plum and sage. But its different clones of Pinot Noir continue to sing a singular voice, one that adds delectable black cherries that glide on a feel of fine cashmere. 2023 was a strong vintage for the quality and character of La Grive Bleue; sadly, yields were not strong and only two barrels (50 cases) were made.”

Evesham Wood Cortell Rose Vineyard Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $44, that’s $41.80 at 5% off and $39.60 at 10% off, 12 bottles in stock now
Winery Note “Both Evesham Wood and sibling winery Haden Fig debuted a Cortell Rose single vineyard Pinot Noir in 2023–we think that highly of Jessica Cortell’s farming. Fermented with our house “J” yeast in contrast to the spontaneous-fermented Haden Fig seems to have yielded an especially pretty, elegantly silky beauty; yes, we’re quite fond of it! Fascinatingly, it also shows brighter, higher tones than its darker, more rustic Haden Fig sibling. There’s only one way to settle which is your favorite: try them side-by-side.”
This is the only listing in the USA today!
Evesham Wood Illahe Vineyard Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $38, that’s $36.10 at 5% off and $34.20 at 10% off, 23 bottles in stock now
Eric Guido-Vinous 92-94 points “The 2023 Pinot Noir Illahe Vineyard is vibrant in the glass, mixing sweet lavender and crushed stone with nuances of blood orange and crushed blackberries. Perfumed and lifted, it offers crunchy mineral tones and violet-laced wild berry fruit on the nose. Fine-grained tannins stain the palate as a hint of licorice and tart cherry concentration pinches at the cheeks. Tasted from barrel. (Drink between 2028-2038).”
This is the only listing in the USA today!
Evesham Wood Le Puits Sec Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $49, that’s $46.55 at 5% off and $44.10 at 10% off, 24 bottles in stock now
Winery Note “The Le Puits Sec is a remarkably focused and cheery wine with dried leaves framing fresh cranberry and raspberry stopping just shy of pomegranite while offering an apple-skin style of fine-grained tannin.”
This is the only listing in the USA today!
Evesham Wood Mahonia Vineyard Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $44, that’s $41.80 at 5% off and $39.60 at 10% off, 8 bottles in stock now
Winery Note “It’s early in this wine’s existence but even at this youthful stage, ‘23 Mahonia reminds us of 2015 Mahonia–quite likely the greatest vintage of Mahonia, until now. In that way, Mahonia epitomizes what we’ve said about the 2023s: they remind us of the 2015s in their structure and classic Pinot Noir profiles, but they’re more extroverted. We sure see that in ‘23 Mahonia, which is wildly seductive, balancing crushably delicious layers of dark red fruit with porcini mushroom, rosemary, and brown spices. We are big fans of this wine, we bottled a mere 61 cases, and thus we encourage you to claim yours with urgency.”

Evesham Wood Sojeau Vineyard Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $44, that’s $41.80 at 5% off and $39.60 at 10% off, 10 bottles in stock now
Eric Guido-Vinous 92-94 points “The 2023 Pinot Noir Sojeau Vineyard, tasted from barrel, is darkly floral, with depths of crushed blackberry and cherry complicated by citrusy spice. It is round and soothing, mixing saline mineral tones with tart wild berry fruit over a stream of brisk acidity. The finish is perfumed and long, with lasting concentration and crunchy tannins that add form. A gorgeous wine in the making. (Drink between 2028-2038).”
This is the only listing in the USA today!
Evesham Wood Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $44, that’s $41.80 at 5% off and $39.60 at 10% off, 10 bottles in stock now
Eric Guido-Vinous 93-95 points “The 2023 Pinot Noir Temperance Hill Vineyard, tasted from barrel, is spicy to the core as peppery rose and licorice give way to wild berries. Beautifully balanced, it offers silken depths of floral-infused red berry fruit and a hint of citrus that gently curls the tongue. Harmony persists to the very end with lovely length and rounded tannins that add perfectly poised punctuation. (Drink between 2026-2038).”

Haden Fig Chardonnay, Willamette Valley 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $24, that’s $22.80 at 5% off and $21.60 at 10% off, 17 bottles in stock now
Winery Note “2023 was a curious vintage whose budbreak was 6 weeks late, flowering was within historic averages, and — amazingly! — harvest was right on time. We try to use this wine as our looking glass to figure out what is yet to come from the other HF and EW wines that are still in barrel. We sorted and direct pressed their Chardonnay and let the gross lees settle out overnight before moving the juice to neutral French barrels and third-use tonneau. This bottle strikes out with custard, mirabelle, candied quince, and lemon curd before settling on to the palate with yellow apple, peach and nectarine flesh, and sweet corn ice cream.”

Haden Fig Juliette Chardonnay, Willamette Valley 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $36, that’s $34.20 at 5% off and $32.40 at 10% off, 19 bottles in stock now
Eric Guido-Vinous 93 points “The 2023 Chardonnay Juliette is delicate and floral in the glass, with a whiff of lemon oil and wildflowers complicated by a hint of wet stone. Built on purity, it offers ripe orchard fruit and nuances of sour citrus that offset its pit fruit. A crunchy sensation and cheek-puckering tension keep the mouth watering for more. Lovely stuff. (Drink between 2025-2029).”
This is the lowest listed price in the USA today!
Haden Fig Cancilla Vineyard Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $38, that’s $36.10 at 5% off and $34.20 at 10% off, 19 bottles in stock now
Eric Guido-Vinous 93 points “The 2023 Pinot Noir Cancilla Vineyard is vibrant in the glass, mixing crushed raspberries with sage and mint. It is soothingly round, with cooling acidity and crisp red and blue fruit swirling beneath an air of violet inner florals. The finish is fresh and long, leaving a perfumed resonance and a note of licorice to fade slowly. (Drink between 2025-2030).”
This is the lowest listed price in the USA today!
Haden Fig Cortell Rose Vineyard Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $36, that’s $34.20 at 5% off and $32.40 at 10% off, 21 bottles in stock now
Paul Gregutt 94 points “Aromatically dense with plush scents of blackberries and sassafras, the flavors bomb the palate with more of the same and black plum (skin and flesh), mocha and clean earth. A cascade of layered and balanced highlights, instantly appealing yet structured to age. Jessica Cortell is a much-admired vineyard manager and this fruit is from her own vineyard.”
This is the lowest listed price in the USA today!
Haden Fig Croft Vineyard Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $36, that’s $34.20 at 5% off and $32.40 at 10% off, 9 bottles in stock now
Eric Guido-Vinous 92 points “Nuances of cola and crushed violets give way to wild blueberries as the 2023 Pinot Noir Croft Vineyard blossoms in the glass. This wine is soothingly round yet savory in style, with violet-laced red and black fruits that slowly saturate toward the close. The palate is stained in primary concentration, tapering off pleasantly chewy and long with a hint of tart blackberry that lingers. (Drink between 2027-2034).”
This is the lowest listed price in the USA today!
Haden Fig Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $38, that’s $36.10 at 5% off and $34.20 at 10% off, 18 bottles in stock now
Eric Guido-Vinous 94 points “The 2023 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard is youthfully coy, mixing dried flowers with nuances of autumnal spice and lavender pastille. Refined and floral in character, it offers silken textures and depths of savory wild berry fruit that coat the senses in primary concentration. The finish shows dramatic length and structure as fine-grained tannins flex upon the senses, leaving liquid violet tones to echo. (Drink between 2028-2036).”
