Le Cadeau Vineyard

What Le Cadeau Vineyard does

Le Cadeau Vineyard is a privately held, family-owned estate winery founded in 1996 by Tom and Deb Mortimer in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. The estate comprises a 16-acre vineyard on Parrett Mountain within the Chehalem Mountains AVA, planted on broken volcanic basalt soil (Witzel series) at 610'–725' elevation, with 18 clones of Pinot Noir and 7 clones of Chardonnay distributed across diverse slope aspects and microclimates. The product portfolio centers on Pinot Noir across multiple named cuvées — Côte Est, Rocheux, Diversité, Merci Reserve, Pierre Reserve, Trajet Reserve, Équinoxe, and Red Label — supplemented by Chardonnay, Vin Rosé de Pinot Gris, and Sparkling Blanc de Noir.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model anchored by a three-tier Wine Club subscription (Platinum, Gold, Silver) with semi-annual shipments and 10–20% discounts, an off-site tasting room inside The Dundee Hotel in Dundee, Oregon, and an e-commerce storefront on orderport.net shipping to most U.S. states. Wholesale distribution through authorized distributors provides incremental reach into restaurant and retail trade channels. The winemaking team is led by Winemaker Steve Ryan and Vineyard Manager José López, with Assistant General Manager Brian Matta (15-year tenure) supporting hospitality and cellar operations. The winery has accumulated significant critical recognition, including 93–96 point ratings from Wine Enthusiast, Vinous, James Suckling, Wine Spectator, and the Wine Advocate, plus a #1 Oregon Pinot Noir designation from the New York Times in 2009.

The company is bootstrapped, founder-controlled, and small-scale (1–10 employees), with no external capital, no parent company, and no institutional investors. Revenue is generated primarily through DTC wine sales, recurring wine club memberships, tasting-room hospitality, and wholesale distribution, with no public revenue disclosure.
