About Walter Scott: Founded in 2008 by husband and wife team, Erica Landon and Ken Pahlow, Walter Scott’ first vintage, La Combe Vert Pinot Noir, was produced in 2009 at Patricia Green Cellars by trading harvest labor for winemaking space. They acquired their own land in 2012, situated on Justice Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills, a sub-appellation of the Willamette Valley AVA. They strive to honor their ancestors and the terroir of the Willamette Valley by creating low-intervention wines that capture the unique qualities of Oregon wines.
