Wine Store

Maloof Wines is a husband-and-wife winery team based in Dundee, OR. We are dedicated to making wines full of energy, with the number one goal of truly capturing a place and time in each bottle. We work closely with our farmers to achieve this goal, and consider them to be the true inspiration of our work. We are focused on producing single vineyard designations of white varietals often overlooked or misunderstood in the world of wine, in addition to making some fun and funky Cuvées of all colors.

The Calling 2021 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon is deep plum red in color with vibrant hues. The aroma is rich and complex with layers of ripe blackberry fruit, mocha, and warm vanilla spice with subtle hints of nutmeg. The flavors are bold with notes of cherry pie, coffee and a rich warm and spicy oak finish.

The 2021 growing season was preceded by mild and dry winter weather from January through March. Winter rainfall was largely absent across Northern California and the Napa Valley entered the growing season with rain totals that ranged from 40 to 60% below normal and had temperatures that were two to three degrees warmer than average.

There’s lots of Chenin between here and Santa Barbara, but there is good reason to traverse all those miles. Of all the sites with which the winery works, Jurassic Park, planted on its own roots on quartz sand atop lime- stone in the late 1970s exhibits the most vintage variation, and small variations create very strong signals in the wine. Some years lean toward the lithe and appley; some towards the exotic; some toward the saline and chalky.

A chillable, medium weight red reminiscent of a Côte de Brouilly, but unabashedly Californian. Aromas of black plum, mulberry, and wild sage. On the palate, bing cherry, violet, and rosemary.

Try with sausage pizza, pulled pork sandwich, or street tacos.

A richly textured and luxuriously balanced wine, showing flavors of baked peaches enveloped by honey and warm ginger and clove, with an orange and cinnamon finish. Enjoy by itself, or try pairing with baked fruit pies, spiced desserts, or a selection of your favorite strongly-flavored cheeses.

Dignitary Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown at the base of Chalk Hill, where a slightly warmer climate and rich volcanic soils create ideal conditions for the clone. The wine is aged unfiltered for 18 months in French oak barrels. On the palate, luscious aromas of dark fruit leading to elegant layers of blackberry, black cherry and hints of spice and warm saddle leather on the nose, with a lasting and well balanced finish.

The vines for Dignitary Pinot Noir are heavily influenced by the Petaluma Gap which is a wind gap named after a coastal mountain opening that stretches east from the Pacific. This, combined with maritime breezes, keep day-time temperatures low, creating the perfect environment for growing Pinot Noir. The wine is aged unfiltered for 10 months in 100% French oak barrels. The result is an elegant expression of red and black fruit with subtle hints of spice.
