Founded in 1995 by Scott Shull with partner Annie joining in 2001. Annie is a Minnesota native – and we are thrilled to represent their wines.
Winemaker Ben DiCristina joined Raptor Ridge in 2024 (previous experience includes Evening Land, Argyle, J.K. Carriere, Leeler Estate and Sine Qua Non). With a passion for sustainability, degrees in Horticulture and Enology and the certification as Oregon Master Gardener, Ben has brought a new, and more natural winemaking perspective to Raptor’s wines which Annie describes as more authentic and characterful.
If you’ve tried them before – now’s the time to try them again!
Scott Shull serves as winegrower for their estate vineyards, which are located in Chehalem Mountains and produce approximately half of the fruit for their bottlings. Their vineyard sources come from four North Willamette Valley’s nested AVAs. All of the vineyards they work with are at a minimum certified sustainable with some holding organic and biodnynamic certifications.
AVA’s:
Chehalem Mountains, Eola-Amity, McMinnville, Yamhill Carlton
