2017 Vintage Collection (Full Case)
The Complete Story
2017 Vintage Collection 12-Bottle
The Complete Story
2 Cardiac Hill • 2 Heritage • 2 Rebecca's Reserve • 2 Dijon 115 • 2 Dijon 777 • 2 Yamhill-Carlton
Six wines. One vintage. The full picture of 2017 at Kramer.
Why 2017 Matters
2017 was our largest harvest at Kramer Vineyards. That abundance gave us a luxury we don't always have: the ability to bottle our estate separately by block and by clone.
This case tells that complete story—how terroir (Cardiac Hill's slope, Heritage's old vines, Rebecca's high-density planting) and mutation selection (Dijon 115's balance, 777's structure) shape Pinot Noir, all within a single, generous vintage.
Plus, it includes the discontinued Yamhill-Carlton label—a piece of Kramer history that no longer exists in our portfolio.
What's in the Case
The Estate Blocks (Terroir Story)
2 Cardiac Hill ($62 each)
Steep south-facing slope. Red clay soils. Savory, mineral-driven. The solar oven.
2 Heritage ($62 each)
1984 original planting. 40-year-old vines. Graceful, forest-floor elegance. Classic 5×10 spacing.
2 Rebecca's Reserve ($65 each)
High-density 4×4 planting. Block 8. Linear, precise, high-definition. The architecture experiment.
The Clone Exploration (Mutation Story)
2 Dijon 115 ($42 each)
The Classicist. Bright red fruits, silky, balanced. The complete wine.
2 Dijon 777 ($42 each)
The Night Bottle. Darker fruit, spice, structure. Built for the table.
The Discontinued Label (History)
2 Yamhill-Carlton AVA ($34 each)
Discontinued after 2017. 91 points James Suckling. Classic earthy, savory Y-C character. Never to be made again.
Three Stories, One Case
Most wine collections ask you to choose: terroir or clone or vintage. This case gives you all three:
- The Terroir Story: How slope (Cardiac), vine age (Heritage), and planting density (Rebecca's) shape wine
- The Mutation Story: How centuries of spontaneous mutations created distinct clone character (115 vs. 777)
- The Vintage Story: How 2017's generous harvest allowed both explorations—plus a discontinued label that captures a moment in Kramer's evolution
At 6+ years in bottle, all six wines are drinking beautifully, showing tertiary complexity while retaining the elegant, light-bodied character of the 2017 vintage.

For Whom This Case Was Made
If you're the kind of person who:
- Wants the complete picture, not just highlights
- Appreciates having a library of different expressions to choose from
- Likes to match the wine to the meal (lighter bottles for weeknight, bigger bottles for dinner parties)
- Values both terroir and clone exploration
- Wants to taste a vintage horizontally—everything from one harvest year
Then this is your case.
This isn't a "variety pack" to sample random wines. This is a complete vintage study—a snapshot of 2017 at Kramer, told through six different lenses.
Note on Dijon 667
