Experience Empyrean
We offer four distinct red wines from vineyards chosen specifically for their ability to produce balanced fruit of the highest quality.
DRACO - named for the Dragon constellation, might be termed a “reserve” by other wineries. We see things a bit differently. Draco is the blend of all our barrels which we think offers the finest cellaring potential. Dragons of legend are long-lived, and we believe our Draco still has many years of peak drinking ahead of it as well. We don't make a "Draco" every vintage.
ERIDANUS –is named for the “River of Stars” constellation and is our tribute to the fruitful and life-giving Yakima River Valley. Eridanus might well be considered a “reserve” quality wine at another winery. We see it as our more approachable blend, it, too, rewards long-cellaring.
CYGNUS –takes its name from the Swan constellation. Syrah grown to best advantage enjoys warm days and cold nights. Our Cygnus label represents our aim of producing a Syrah that is not only rich and bold, but elegant and graceful.
LYRA - takes its name from the Lyre constellation, as it is harmonious and an immediate pleasure. Lyra is a new offering for Empyrean, a pinot noir from Oregon's premiere Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Like all Empyrean wines it is a blend, this time of four pinot noir clones. We made Lyra to drink now, with soft red fruits, restrained French oak, and balanced tannins.
