Barking Dog Wine

Barking Dog Wine is a Chehalem Mountains AVA producer focused on single-vineyard Pinot Noir, including Rosé, White, and traditional Red bottlings. The 15-acre estate vineyard sits southeast of Bald Peak State Park near Newberg, Oregon, rising from about 760 to 1,100 feet on steep, south-facing slopes of decomposed basalt and marine sedimentary soils. The site is planted to five Pinot Noir clones (Wädenswil, 667, 777, Coury, and Mt. Eden) on 3309 and 101-14 rootstock, with views across the Willamette Valley, the Red Hills of Dundee, and Ribbon Ridge. The winery was started by retired US Navy veterans who moved to the Newberg area in 2016, planted the first clones in 2017, and sold their first harvest in 2019 before launching the Barking Dog label in 2021 with guidance from winemaker Jim Saunders of Blue Note Wine Company and Archer Vineyard's custom crush facility. Visitors can taste at the Carlton tasting room and art gallery, which displays rotating works by emerging and established artists. Walk-ins are welcome on Fridays and Saturdays, and reservations made at least 24 hours in advance allow for extended hours and additional days. Ten percent of direct-to-consumer bottle sales go to the winery's Give Back Program charities.
