Folly of Man

The story of Folly of Man is etched in forty-eight acres of extraordinary land in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills, where married winemakers Tracy and Aaron Kendall have planted not just vines, but the seeds of their family's legacy.

Tracy honed her craft through immersive experiences at Australia's Vasse Felix and New Zealand's Felton Road before spending ten formative years as Associate Winemaker at Nicolas-Jay. Working alongside Jean-Nicolas Méo of Domaine Méo-Camuzet, she developed an intuitive approach to winemaking that honors both tradition and innovation.

Aaron's journey began among the rolling hills of New York's Finger Lakes and flourished during his years leading winemaking at Beaux Frères. His meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to excellence helped produce Pinot Noirs that earned recognition among the world's finest wines.

Through minimal intervention in the cellar and thoughtful stewardship in the field, they’re committed to creating wines that honestly express both place and time—bottles that capture not just exceptional terroir, but the story of a family who believes that caring deeply for the land today creates the most profound legacy for tomorrow.

Estate Chardonnay

Eola-Amity hills Chardonnay with an aromatic weave of lemon balm threaded with delicate herbal notes of thyme and tarragon. The palate is focused driven by bright, linear acidity and tones of wet stone.
de Lancellotti Chardonnay

The de Lancellotti Vineyard Chardonnay is defined by it’s roots in 100% marine sediment soil – opening with an elegant, coastal-tinged aromatic profile of seashell and pear blossom, lifted by hints of honeysuckle.
Estate Pinot Noir

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.
Momtazi Pinot Noir

Black and blue fruits, dried plum and exotic spices dominate the nose in this deeply expressive wine. The windblown high elevation of this biodynamic vineyard is showcased beautifully by hints of savory earth.
