Folly of Man marks an exciting new chapter in Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills, and we’re thrilled to bring their wines into our collection. Founded by wife and husband winemakers Tracy and Aaron Kendall. The couple farms their 48-acre estate with a deep commitment to regenerative and biodynamic agriculture—this approach is taken as it is their viticultural philosophy but also by a desire to leave a lasting legacy for their family and the land.
Fans of Nicolas-Jay will likely recognize Tracy Kendall’s touch. Before founding Folly of Man, she spent a decade as Associate Winemaker at that highly regarded Oregon estate, working alongside Jean-Nicolas Méo of Burgundy’s famed Domaine Méo-Camuzet. Her earlier training at Vasse Felix and Felton Road further shaped a stylistic clarity that balances freshness with depth. At Folly of Man, her experience is complemented by Aaron Kendall’s own formidable résumé, which includes a leadership role at Beaux Frères, helping craft some of Oregon’s most sought-after Pinot Noirs.
This wine dances with the energy and tension characteristic of the estate vineyard. Defined by its effusive aromatics of fresh berries – raspberry, cherries and bramble berry – it quickly gives way to more complex aromatics. Upfront firmness leads to a burst of fruit across the mid palate with elegant resolved tannins. The finish is full of youthful vibrant energy which gives way to a long and graceful depth.
