Terry and TedTerry and Ted Casteel established the Bethel Heights Road property in Salem in 1977 — the year of Oregon wine's first international recognition, when David Lett's 1975 Eyrie Pinot Noir placed near the top of a Paris tasting organized to compare Oregon Pinot Noir against French Burgundy and California competitors.
✓
The Bethel HeightsThe Bethel Heights estate sits on the volcanic basalt soils of the Eola-Amity Hills AVA — the westernmost and most Pacific Ocean-influenced sub-appellation in the Willamette Valley, where the Van Duzer Corridor funnels cold Pacific air directly into the vineyard on most summer afternoons.
