The Corridor
Crafted by Nicholas Keeler since 2014
The Corridor is a tribute to the land, the wind, and the subtle power of nature’s design.
Named after the Van Duzer Corridor—a unique geological gap in Oregon’s Coast Range—this label honors the maritime winds that define the Eola-Amity Hills. Each afternoon, cool Pacific air rushes through the corridor, slowing ripening and preserving freshness in the grapes. This natural phenomenon shapes the wines with lifted aromatics, vibrant acidity, and remarkable transparency of place.
For winemaker Nicholas Keeler, The Corridor is more than a reference point on a map—it’s a channel of inspiration. Born in Oregon, with deep roots in the Willamette Valley and a passion honed through years of experience in both winemaking and French cooperage, Nicholas brings an artisan’s approach to every vintage. His focus is on minimal intervention and precision, letting the vineyards speak through the wines.
Each bottling is a single vineyard designate Pinot Noir, sourced from organically or biodynamically farmed sites in the Eola-Amity Hills and surrounding AVAs. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in carefully selected French oak barrels, The Corridor wines are soulful, structured, and elegant—built to evolve.
This is wine that breathes with the wind.
