Spring is always an inspiring season in the vineyard, but at 2Hawk, we have another reason to celebrate spring: It’s time for our semiannual wine club release! Every May and November, members of the 2Hawk Wine Club receive exclusive first access to our latest wines. This May, we’re releasing four exquisite wines that are uniquely 2Hawk. Additionally, we will be hosting a members-only release party to mark the occasion—our first since 2019.

We’re thrilled to be releasing four stellar wines to our wine club members this fall, including two Darow Series wines. Our reserve tier, Darow Series wines are named in homage to the silty clay loam that is found throughout most of the blocks in our vineyard. Sublime wine, after all, begins in the soil, as evidenced by our new releases: 2018 Darow Series Tempranillo, 2019 Darow Series Chardonnay, 2019 Grenache, and 2020 Viognier.
At 2Hawk, spring is a time for looking forward—both to the potential of a new growing season and the anticipation of our semiannual wine club release. Every May and November, wine club members enjoy first access to our latest wines. This spring, we’re thrilled to announce the release of four remarkable new wines that reflect the maturity and unique terroir of our vineyard.
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later, and now it finally has: 2020 is over, done, finished, kaput. And while the general sentiment—with good cause—is “good riddance,” we can’t help but look back at some of the events that made 2020 a year for the history books, even right here in Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley. Don’t worry—we won’t dwell on 2020 for long. We are too excited to share what might be in store for 2Hawk in 2021.
If there has been one constant in 2020, it is that each month brings new challenges. September proved no exception as the catastrophic Almeda Fire took a heavy, heartrending toll on the Rogue Valley, leaving incalculable destruction in its wake. In the aftermath, we’re helping Southern Oregon rebuild, even as we ensure the 2020 vintage stands as a testament to the resilience of the Rogue Valley.
With the 2019 harvest completed, the holiday season flurry behind us, and the grapevines gently slumbering in the vineyard, one might be tempted to think life takes on a slower pace at 2Hawk after the new year. In reality, winter at 2Hawk is a change of pace, but it’s anything but slow!
2019 is drawing to a close, and it has been a remarkable year for 2Hawk Vineyard & Winery! Looking back over the past twelve months, we have a lot to celebrate, from noteworthy accolades to entertaining events. Before we turn our attention to making the next year even better, we’d like to share some of our favorite moments from 2019.
This year, we are proud to have been invited to the 38th Annual Telluride Wine Festival and Cork & Barrel Wine Event in Bend, Oregon. 2Hawk Co-Owner and Vineyard Manager Ross Allen will be in attendance with me, and we’re both looking forward to the opportunity to introduce our spectacular wines to a whole new audience.
Yesterday was a banner day at 2Hawk. At sunrise, we were harvesting Chardonnay and Tempranillo. Throughout the day, I fielded media interviews about the 9-1-1 wine release, and at 4 pm, I headed to the tasting room to join the winery’s celebration of National First Responders Day. The event honored first responders and opened sales of the new 9-1-1 red blend.
2Hawk Vineyard & Winery recently had the honor of hosting four wine writers on a tour of Oregon wineries in Portland, Willamette Valley, and Southern Oregon. Arranged by the Oregon Wine Board (OWB), the tour concluded on August 1 with a dinner hosted by 2Hawk. We were joined by our talented colleagues and friends Ruth Garvin, Cliff Creek Cellars; Earl and Hilda Jones, Abacela; and Dyson Demara, Hillcrest Vineyard.
