As a husband and wife team making wine in the Willamette Valley, we look forward to Berserker Day and to connecting with many of you throughout the year for tastings in the winery. In a time where the big guys have the upper hand, we appreciate that both the organizers of this board and you Berserkers champion the small & mighty producers. In Oregon, we feel lucky to be surrounded by so many small, family wineries making top notch wines. (Many of those friends are represented here for BD17!)
Our wines sell through each vintage, so we are out of 2023, but we are offering a range of deals of the new 2024 Vintage wines in addition to some special LIMITED LIBRARY OFFERS toward the bottom of the page. Across the board, Willamette Valley 2024s are not to be missed.
Our thoughts on the 2024 Vintage:
Every year as the calendar turns we are dealt a new hand of cards. Throughout the year, we’re getting sneak peaks of the cards, and hoping our next draw strengthens our hand. At the end of the 2024 vintage we realized we had a Royal Flush. A cool winter with plenty of rain, led to an ideal growing season that finished off with moderate temperatures and dry skies allowing us to pick the fruit ripe, not overly laden with sugar, and with striking natural acidity. Sourced from extraordinary vineyards across the Willamette Valley, each wine tells the story of this vintage in its own clear voice. In our signature fashion, these wines will cellar beautifully, but you can pop these babies tonight if you want. We look forward to sharing the spoils of this great hand with all you Berserkers!
For those of you who are quick on the draw, check out the three special LIBRARY LOTS (Offers 5 ,6, 7). Berserker Day is the ONLY time we offer library bottles since we only hold back a few cases of everything we produce, so each offer is LIMITED TO 12 ORDERS. If you get there first, you can pour yourself a Mega-Pint of these rare beauties by the time the snow thaws.
For BD17 ALL ORDERS ARE SHIPPED FREE as soon as it is warm enough to ship to your zone. Exceptions include AK, AR, HI, DE, and UT.
If you PURCHASE a package + COMMENT on the feed and you will be automatically entered into a RAFFLE for a SEQUITUR 3-vintage Library Vertical.

ABOUT US
Grant Coulter & Renée Saint-Amour
Winery + Headquarters in McMinnville, OR, Vineyard & Future Winery in Eola-Amity Hills
In 2006 we headed for the Willamette Valley to join its vibrant community of winemakers and vine tenders. We always had a dream of someday pioneering a project of our own. Grant’s 20 years in Willamette Valley cellars and vineyards (Hamacher, Beaux Freres, Flaneur) gave him the experience to forge a path of his own and the curiosity to want to push the limits.
In 2015 our dream was realized when Renée left her job in education, we sold our house, and put all the money into our first 450 cases. Since then, we’ve grown Hundred Suns through experience and grit (the two of us still manage all aspects of the winery and business). Our gained experience has given us the tools to create wines of purity and balance, yet we are always driving to learn and experiment in the winery so that we can create wines that are foremost delicious but always with a little something special you can’t quite put your finger on.
We’re thrilled to be here today in the midst of so many other wine lovers and hope you all visit us next time you come through the Willamette Valley. THANK YOU ALL!
My favorite “new to me” purchase from last year. The Carson Phillips was the favorite of the bunch.
