RoxyAnn Winery

Jack Day, grandson of founder Reginald Parsons, saw the potential of grape growing on the historic Hillcrest Orchard Estate with its perfect sloping hills, clay soils, and spectacular southern sunshine. Armed with the vision of an artisan farmer with a Harvard MBA, Jack Day guided planting the original 20 acres on the Southwest slopes of Roxy Ann Peak in 1997. The first harvest of grapes at RoxyAnn Winery produced 150 cases of a proprietary red “Claret” consisting of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The property’s distinct southern Oregon climate with rich soils and southern sunshine was perfectly suited to growing grapes, just as Jack had imagined. The entire production of Claret sold out in two weeks. Today, RoxyAnn Winery produces nearly 15,000 cases of award-winning Claret, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, Syrah, and Viognier each reflecting balance, complexity and profound depth of flavor.
