Seventy-five acres of estate vineyards are now planted on the historic agricultural lands of Hillcrest;  these vineyards produce an excellent variety of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Tempranillo and Viognier, contributing to the production of more than 15,000 cases of RoxyAnn wine annually.  As for the future, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay recently were added to RoxyAnn vineyard plantings with first releases due sometime in 2014.  Currently, grapes for RoxyAnn's white wines – Pinot Gris and Viognier – come from other vineyards in the region, like Don and Traute Moore’s vineyards and Pheasant Hill.  Others come from the Willamette Valley.

       Hillcrest introduced RoxyAnn Winery in 2002.  Its mission was, and is, to produce world-class wines, while supporting the Parsons family's commitment to preserving this land for future generations.  Both the orchard and the vineyards honor the this land's agricultural heritage by insuring both are cultivated under sustainable land management practices.  These practices promote the natural character of the estate which carries through in the taste of the fruit and the ripe, concentrated character of RoxyAnn wines – wines that possess rich color, complexity and concentration. 

       "A winemaker can't craft wines that surpass the quality of the fruit," notes winemaker John Quinones. "It's our job to fully develop, preserve and showcase what comes from the vineyard. With appropriate viticulture practices, the desired flavor profiles, balance and texture can be developed in the vineyard, long before the grapes are brought into the winery." 

       Quinones' stylistic trait in his wines is balance with texture. "I am very focused on the texture of a wine," he explains.  "The balance of the fruit, acidity, tannins, etc., is what creates a wine's texture.  When the balance is right, the wine is in harmony and will simply feel good in your mouth."

       Inside the historic Hillcrest "Honor Barn," RoxyAnn Winery and Hillcrest Orchard welcome visitors daily with a blend of hospitality, wine tasting and produce sales.  The Honor Barn, was built as part of the original property in 1900 and has earned a place on National Register of Historic Places along with 10 other structures still on the property.  The Barn earned its name from the local community who purchased their fresh peaches, pears and apples and left their money in the “honor box” to pay.  The honor system is still very much alive and well at RoxyAnn where every year Hillcrest Fruit can still be found for sale right outside the doors of the Tasting Room.  The entire barn was renovated into a spacious tasting room in 2006, including a state of the art kitchen, tasting bar, expansive seating and a temperature-controlled storage room.  The original beams and hardwood-plank floors remain as unmistakable reminders of the history that marks this proud and still-operating farm, a history also marked by one of RoxyAnn's popular red blends... Honor Barn Red.

       Consider bringing a picnic to enjoy while surrounded by beautiful gardens overlooking the vineyard and the orchard.  No doubt RoxyAnn Winery and Hillcrest Orchard will become a rich memory of your Rogue Valley wine country trip.
