Wines are all hand-crafted in small lots, using carefully sorted and selected fruit. Our long-term grower relationships have been cultivated from among the most respected vineyards of the Pacific Northwest, including Jim Holmes of the renowned Ciel du Cheval Vineyard and Larry Pearson of Tapteil Vineyards (both in Red Mountain AVA, WA), Mike Andrews of Coyote Canyon Vineyard, (Horse Heaven Hills AVA, WA) and Susan Meredith and Frank Mitchell of Meredith Mitchell Vineyard (McMinnville AVA, OR).
Our approach to winemaking is rooted in our understanding of superior quality grapes and respect for the land that produces them. Producing our wines in small lots, we strive to emphasize the natural characteristics of each varietal without overpowering or minimizing the unique attributes of the fruit. Patrick Taylor has been with Cana's Feast since 2004, collaborating with founder Gino Cuneo in all aspects of wine production from the vine to the bottle. Taking the reins in 2007, he has since been responsible for vineyard assessment and management, harvest decisions based on fruit evaluation, aging and cellaring, and working to direct the style and outcome for each vintage and varietal. Taylor served briefly as the assistant winemaker at Torii Mor, and worked a number of harvests for local producers Andrew Rich and Benton Lane, as well as with Nepenthe Winery in Adelaide Hills, Australia. He holds a Master of Science in Horticulture with research focused on viticulture and oenology, and a Magna Cum Laude Bachelor of Science in interdisciplinary Bioresource Research from Oregon State University. He stays current with advances and techniques by attending industry seminars and annual technical meetings and by brainstorming and sharing information with other winemakers. |
