Collection: Walter Scott

Walter Scott Wines was founded with a simple but ambitious goal: to craft world-class wines that capture the depth and energy of the Willamette Valley. Funded by emptied retirement accounts and fueled by sheer determination, Ken Pahlow and Erica Landon have built Walter Scott into one of the world’s most acclaimed wineries.

Ken’s journey through St. Innocent, Patricia Green Cellars, and Evening Land Vineyards provided an invaluable education, shaping his philosophy and deepening his understanding of site-driven winemaking. Most impactfully, his time alongside Dominique Lafon left a lasting imprint, revealing the discipline, work ethic, and uncompromising commitment to learning that exceptional winemaking demands. This pivotal mentorship ignited a relentless drive for excellence—one that continues to define Walter Scott and sparked an obsession with Chardonnay.

Today, Walter Scott stands as a benchmark producer in the Willamette Valley, earning international acclaim for wines that are both precise and profound.
