Often described as "strikingly original" or "the little winery that could," Spindrift Cellars certainly lives up to its tributes. Owned and run by winemaker Matthew Compton and his wife, Tabitha, the urban winery in Downtown Philomath maintains a reputation for wines that are fruit forward, earthy, and expressive of the local vineyards that produce them. Matt and Tabitha have built their winery business with both passion and intelligence. They focus on producing crisp, quality wines that display the true varietal characteristics of the grape, bolstered by a sustainable farming foundation. As Spindrift has grown, the couple's labor of love continues to produce a full line of nationally recognized fine wines, offered at consumer friendly prices. "We're showing more of what the vineyards can do in our area, in the heart of the Willamette Valley," says Matthew. "They're true to variety, they're bright and fragrant and well-received by consumers.
