Folly of Man

Folly of Man is a relatively new voice in Oregon wine, founded by esteemed winemakers Tracy and Aaron Kendall. The winery's signature varietals include Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with a focus on estate-grown wines from their Eola-Amity Hills AVA vineyard. Their 2023 Colleen Chardonnay showcases the minerality and texture imparted by marine sediment soil, while their Estate Chardonnay highlights the site-driven characteristics of their Folly of Man estate. The winery also produces a Pinot Noir from Momtazi Vineyard in McMinnville AVA, known for its wild character and deep concentration. A second Pinot Noir is produced from the Folly of Man estate vineyard, characterized by elegance, refined tannins, and persistent length. The Kendall's winemaking style emphasizes bright acidity, structure, and balance, with a focus on showcasing the unique terroir of their vineyards. Visitors can experience the tasting room at the Eola-Amity Hills AVA location, where they can taste through the current releases and learn about the winery's philosophy and approach to winemaking.
