Exciting Changes at Anne Amie Winery
You’ve probably noticed the new Anne Amie wine labels, which now feature enchanting nature scenes. These artwork changes are meant to mark a new era for the winery, with long-time sales & marketing director Kim McLeod taking over from the Pamplin family.
Welcoming Back a Visionary Winemaker
A key element in this relaunch is the return of Jay Somers as winemaker. Somers is a significant figure in Oregon winemaking. With a deep understanding of the region’s terroir, he’s recognized as a pioneer in crafting exquisite wines that embody Oregon’s character, and his return represents a re-connection to the winery’s roots.
A Balanced Approach to the Future
Under this new leadership, Anne Amie is ready to balance tradition with innovation. The focus remains on site-driven wines, especially Pinot Noir, while emphasizing precision, vineyard expression, and stylistic clarity. For partners and customers, this transition is more than just a change in ownership — it’s a rebirth of the brand. With Kim McLeod guiding strategic direction and Jay Somers’ masterful craftsmanship, Anne Amie is set to strengthen its legacy and begin an exciting new journey.
