Willamette Valley winegrowers were abuzz this fall as they watched vines being pulled at Witness Tree, a venerable vineyard and winery in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Wine Spectator has learned that earlier this year the owners of Chapter 24 purchased the 100-acre site, planted in 1982, from Carolyn Devine and winemaker Steven Westby for $3.5 million.
The new owners have big plans. After making wine from purchased fruit for a few years, partners Mark Tarlov, a founder of Evening Land Vineyards, and Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, a Burgundy vigneron, are acquiring more than 100 acres across Willamette Valley for vineyards, focusing on volcanic soils.
