About Anne Amie Vineyards
Anne Amie Vineyards are located in the rolling hills of the Yamhill-Carlton District and on the steep hillsides of the Chehalem Mountains, both nestled in Oregon’s verdant Willamette Valley. The label was established in 1999 by Dr. Robert B. Pamplin, Jr., who purchased and transformed the historic Chateau Benoit Winery; in the process, he renamed it Anne Amie after his two daughters, Anne and Amy.
As in 1999, today Dr. Pamplin continues to follow a vision of creating wines of the highest quality that reflect his passion for excellence. At Anne Amie Vineyards, Pinot reigns supreme, and Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc form the heart of production. Complementing the pinot family is Old-Vine Estate Riesling and Müller Thurgau. Anne Amie Vineyards is proud to be part of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, and the Chehalem Mountains Winegrowers. To learn more about Anne Amie or Dr. Pamplin, visit www.anneamie.com or www.pamplin.org.
