Welcome to Sineann!
We are a small producer of highly intense wine in Yamhill County, Oregon.

We source our fruit from some of the best vineyards in the region; Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from the Willamette Valley and the Hood River Valley, Cabernet, Merlot and Zinfandel from the Columbia Valley, Gewurztraminer from the Willamette Valley and the Columbia Gorge. We've started making wine from the Napa Valley.

Our growers have great pride in the grapes they provide us. Almost all our wines are vineyard designated. No expense is spared in our pursuit of great wine. Crop levels are kept very low, one to three tons per acre.

Winemaking is meticulous. All fruit is hand sorted, delicately destemmed, punched down by hand, gently pressed and gravity racked. The wines are aged in new and one year old French oak.

The bottom line is, we strive to make great wine. It's the only kind of wine that makes it onto our dinner table. It's exciting to make and gratifying to share. We believe that food and drink, lovingly prepared, make for happier and healthier people.

 
glass cork

Sineann is now several years into using glass corks on most wines and have done side by side tastings with glass stoppers and corks. It is evident the glass is superior. The wines still age as you would expect, though a little more slowly, and with better fruit preservation. If you open the wines soon decanting will help bring the aromatics out quicker. Best of all, we open hundreds of bottles each year and with the glass stoppers, we never open a bad bottle. I don’t know if many can fathom how wonderful it is to have every bottle opened be the same as the one before and the one before that.
