Archetype12 Wines is an artisan craft winery and cidery that crafts our wines based on the ethos and personalities of 12 primary Archetypes. Archetypes are central figures cutting through every race, religion, and language, conjuring particular characteristics and idiosyncrasies. Archetype12 was born on the premise that you could find yourself, through the traits and Archetypes you personify, reflected in the very wines we hope you'll love most! Terroir Incognito is our community-driven cider project which relies on urban-foraged crowd-sourced fruit to craft experimental French-and Spanish-inspired ciders and other experimental Libations to further forge stronger community ties between all.

The JESTER

Playful & Fun
The Jester is a surprisingly non-traditional robust Rosé of Syrah sourced from the Naches Heights AVA.

The Citizen

Approachable & Friendly
The Citizen is a light-bodied, approachable, and sessionable Pinot Noir inspired by the Willamette Valley's early years.​

The Sovereign

Decadent & Regal
The Sovereign is a full-bodied, rich, and decadent Mourvèdre from just outside the Red Mountain AVA fit for royalty.

The Explorer

Rustic & Adventurous
The Explorer is a savory, food-friendly Cabernet Franc with prominent notes of anise, fennel, and cinnamon.

introducing the sub-archetypes

The hedonist

Celebratory & Bubbly
The Hedonist, crafted to capture and celebrate the moment, is an earthy and vivacious sparkling Orange Pinot Gris.​

The alchemist

Unabashed & Audacious
The Alchemist, transmuted from commonplace fruit, is a gilded Pinot Noir resplendent in opulence and richness.​

The Shapeshifter

Ever-Changing & Unconventional
A Chehalem Mountain Blanc de Noir in a Bordeaux bottle? The Shapeshifter can be whatever you want it to be!​
