2025 Wines

2024 The Laughing Pig Rosé

403 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$36

We made the 2024 Rosé with a direct press fruit that was placed on top of an equal amount of fruit and allowed to soak and slowly ferment for several days. This was then pressed and transferred to neutral barrels. As we have always done, the ‘24 Laughing Pig Rosé  was fermented to dryness with malolactic complete and bottled unfined and unfiltered. 

tasting notes-
This rosé has a floral nose of bright strawberry, orange cordial, and camomile tea. Your first sip gives tart cherry and sweet ripe strawberries.  The finish is gives a little spice which balanced with a rich mouth feel. This is a dry and complex rose that compliments lots of food and is a beautifully and balanced wine! 

2023 Wild Bee Chardonnay

1122 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label – charcoal drawing of a ‘wild’ bee by April Coppini
release date: March 4th, 2025
$34

The Wild Bee is an assembly of different vineyards that in the end, make a mosaic that is colorful and vibrant and richly textured. The Wild bee especially is consistent as well as delicious with each vintage and the 23 delivers just as all the past vintages have. I certainly use a refractometer to measure sugar as I sample chardonnay vineyards, but I also taste as I go and crunch the seeds and skins and observe the canopy and watch the weather like a hawk. The proof is in the pudding (Glass in this case)! I love fruit in my wines, but also the balance that comes from the natural acidity and the texture that comes from the extended lees contact and stirring. I just poured myself a glass of this, and while unfiltered it is brilliantly clear, each barrel carefully racked just before bottling to ensure the vitality of the wine is captured, and the sediment is left behind. There's definitely a new oak component to this wine but balanced by fruit and some spice.  Cheers!  Brian

tasting notes -

You are greeted with a collision of white flower and warm spice. This wine tempts me like a piece of left over apple pie on the counter in the morning. Freshly cut apples leads a smooth lead to a comforting warm curd and vanilla bean profile reminds me of a lemon Madeleine cookie. This wine finished with a beautiful lifted acid bringing you back for more. - Cheers! Clare

2022 Yamhill Carlton Chardonnay

92 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$48
label - blossoms for the big table farm bees

A blend comprised of fruit from Yates Conwill Vineyard and Quandary vineyard.  Yates Conwill was dramatically affected by the frost, we only got about half the tonnage we normally get, but the quality was astounding. Quandary is a new Vineyard and new to us so presents as fruity and fresh - pairing nicely with the power and depth of the Yates Conwill. As always - barrel fermented to dryness, ML complete and bottled without fining or filtration. We had the 2017 version of this wine at a wine dinner a week ago and I was impressed (and relieved!)

Imagine a lazy afternoon, tucked away in a cozy booth at a charming country diner. The air is rich with the sweet aroma of lemon meringue pie, while the comforting scents of cinnamon french toast and cookie dough drift from the kitchen. Around you, the familiar notes of sun-kissed apples, ripe pears, and dried apricots add depth to the scene. Vivid touches of lychee, grapefruit zest, and orange peel enliven the experience, beautifully balanced by a warm caramel and toasted almond. As the moment fades, that comforting feeling loiters, serving as a subtle reminder of more leisurely days.

2022  Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay

92 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$48
label- big table farm honeybees

2022 Eola Amity Chardonnay - Bieze Vineyard has been part of our Chardonnay program since first fruit in 2011 -  we have been using the same rows and blocks since,  and it is an important part of our Eola Amity blend - consistently delicious!  It is blended with X Omni which we've also been working with since first fruit in 2016, and together they make a great representation of what the Eola Amity hills can produce for Chardonnay. The Van duzer corridor of wind cools the hills in the evening and the southern exposure makes for warm days and perfect ripeness and crispness together. I am fortunate to work with these two great vineyards and hope that you find the wine as delicious as we do!

As the wine meets the air, it reveals a delicate power, like a gentle stream cascading over river stones, engaging your senses. A cool breeze carries notes of vanilla bean, lavender, and lemon peel, intertwined with subtle hints of coastal minerality. The first sip draws you further into this experience, where wild pear and white peach mingle with a touch of caramel, wrapped in the comforting embrace of freshly-baked sourdough. The finish lingers, leaving a final refreshing spritz of lemon oil and sea salt.

2023 Pinot Gris

125 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$38
label-vetch from our pasture

The 2023 Pinot Gris barrels are tasting great, but yet to be bottled - August 26 is the scheduled date. the Pinot Gris is  grown by Brian O’donnell of Belle Ponte fame. We ferment it as we do the Pinot - throw it in a fermenter, stomp on it,  and let it go! I taste it as it starts to ferment and when I think it is perfect then we drain and press it once it has picked up enough tannin.  Always a great wine for seafood, approximately 125 cases to be bottled and like the 2023 laughing pig rose - always a harbinger of what to come next year!

2023 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

2154 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label:  Laverne and Shirley of big table farm
release date: March 4th, 2025
$50

This wine is a true Willamette Valley blend and ticks all the boxes for delicious Pinot Noir - bright fruit, savory spice, mouthwatering finish and a perfect companion to such a wide variety of foods. All of our vineyards lend a helping hand to this blend. I make earth, the vineyard designates, the salud and auction wine first, and then all the remaining barrels are blended to make willamette valley, so it is a kitchen sink.  But all the ferments and barrels are treated with equal diligence, so it is based on my preference, so of course, if someone else were to decide, they might make entirely different decisions and blends. All lots are fermented as whole cluster and with whatever yeast blows in the door. Each lot is gently trod by foot several times with at least one time by me! With over 30 lots to do I get a workout by the end of harvest. There are some new barrels in this blend but most are matured in older barrels so the influence of oak is minimal. Cheers! Brian

tasting notes-
This wine instantly transports me to picking blackberries in our back field in late august. But then once in my mouth is decidedly lighter with cranberry,   but the warm spices are still very present along with more brambly notes of huckleberry jam with its savory sweetness. The finish is earl gray tea leaves with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg that gently lingers. - Cheers! Clare

2023 Pelos Sandberg Pinot Noir

244 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label: knife and fork vineyard row marker
release date: March 4th, 2025
$72

Our good friend Don has been selling us the literal fruit of his labor since 2010. The quality and consistency is top-notch - my job once he drops it off is to not screw it up! We buy about 4.5 acres - half is Pommard, the other half 777 and some wadensville. Some of each end up in this blend, similar to the ratio we get from the vineyard. It is all different but all fantastic so it can be difficult to decide which barrels end up in the blend. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it! We get the same rows and blocks year in and year out. Don has marked the end posts with thrift store silverware - so this is the inspiration for the art that adorns the label.  - Cheers! Brian

tasting notes -
This wine opens with powerful aromatics of candied bacon and warm dates. A vibrant burst of raspberry jam coats the palate with a rich sweetness balanced immediately by a savory complexity. The jam, orange peel and brandied-cherry, ground the aromatic profile.  Savory notes of dried sage, rosemary and sweet cedar notes give this wine a beautiful lifted finish. - Cheers! Clare

2022 Cattrall Brothers Vineyard Pinot Noir

64 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$72
label-Bill and Tom’s ‘46 Ford flatbed

Wadensville clone planted in the 80s on its own roots, we have been working with Tom and Bill since 2009. This vineyard was definitely affected by the spring frost. We got half the normal amount of fruit, so there's significantly less of this wine to go around this year! We've always found this wine to be quite polarizing - people either LOVE it or prefer something else -  only 64 cases produced, so if you fall into the love camp, don't wait!  Of course, their old truck on the label.

Don’t be deceived by its delicate appearance—this is a pinot noir with serious complexity and assured character. The first feeling is of warm strawberry-rhubarb pie, soon joined by hints of dried leather and spice, making a bold entrance into the glass. Layers of foraged mushrooms, dried thyme, blood orange, and red plum weave together, painting a vivid landscape. As notes of cut cactus and tumbleweeds emerge, the lingering essence of desert spice gradually fades. Funky, yet elegantly refined.

2022 Yamhill Carlton Pinot Noir

232 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$72
label-Hancox family barn

In addition to the Chardonnay we buy from Yates Conwill, we also get Pinot Noir. The vineyard shares a fence line with Resonance so I know the area and the pothole filled, long driveway well! It is a warmer spot, so the rich ones blend nicely with a slightly cooler Coats and Whitney Vineyard, also in the Yamhill Carlton AVA, that has been part of our Pinot program since 2011. Together, I think they show the rich dark fruit and structure that the Yamhill Carlton is known for, and maybe someday our little vineyard here at BTF will be a part of this blend!

Wines with duality always promise an adventure, and this bold one certainly understood the assignment. Picture a clean-cut lumberjack—handsome yet formidable, earthy yet refined. Aromas of dried summer-rose tea and orange zest meld with the rich notions of cola, dark cherry, vanilla, licorice, and amaretto, offering a complex and captivating experience. Bright bursts of ruby red grapefruit and prickly pear make a vibrant entrance, complementing the smokey warmth of brisket. You can easily imagine that lumberjack savoring a glass while tending to the grill at a backyard BBQ.

2022 Sunnyside Vineyard Pinot Noir

241 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
$72
label- big table farm rooster and hen

Sunnyside Vineyard Pinot noir - A smaller crop but still reasonable - the warm October pushed this vineyard to as Luci described “the ripest she has ever seen”.  Don't worry - it is still balanced - still Oregon pinot, but it's just a little more generous in the opulence department. I'm drinking some now as I scribble! Year in and year out this is a favorite – a crowd pleaser!  I might need to pour myself some more! 

A wine so beautiful, so deeply concentrated, it could make even the most rugged gentleman shed a tear. Sunnyside Vineyard, you magnificent stunner, you've done it again. The aroma? Oh, it's a red fruit symphony, with pomegranate, candied cherry, and seascape strawberries serenading your senses. And, just when you think it can't get any better, in struts a decadent chocolate-covered orange carrying a shot of fruit punch, adding both richness and a vibrant lift that would make even a jazz flute jealous. The finish? Why, that’s like being cradled in the finely polished grains of rich mahogany—simply legendary.

2022 The Rocks Syrah- Funk Estate

144 cases produced
unfined and unfiltered
label: a vine in the rocks
release date: March 4th, 2024
$72 

It is such a joy to work with a little bit of syrah. Don't get me wrong I love pinot noir however it is nice to have something a little different from time to time. The thicker skins of syrah make a wine that is dark and a little more tannic so we give it an additional year in barrel to soften and mature. Not to worry it is still bright and fresh and lively. It has the dark fruit and olive and spice that makes Syrah so lovely. Rich Funk of Saviah grows and sells us the fruit for this wine. He does a great job and we look forward to working with him and his family into the future! The 23 and 24 vintages are in the cellar and progressing nicely - more good stuff to come! Clare came with me this year to pick up the fruit and it inspired her to draw a new label! - Cheers! Brian

On first introduction this wine gives generously: dried black cherry, cedar and sweet teriyaki, showing hues of both sweetness and depth. I’m surprised when I take my first sip how light and almost ethereal it is. Then the curtain opens to rich dark flavors of pomegranate, plum and coffee. The finish is like a fine 80% dark chocolate as I continue to enjoy this lifted yet savory wine. - Cheers! Clare
