L. Donovan Wines

Call it guts, call it gumption.  Whatever it takes to devote a career to winemaking in an emerging region, Linda Donovan’s got it.  With an enology degree from UC Davis and several years of experience at top California wineries, Linda settled in Southern Oregon in 2000 to grow grapes and consult with many emerging wineries.
​
Now, she has her own in-demand boutique label, L. Donovan Wines, and is a partner in the large Medford custom crusher, Pallet Wine Company, where she oversees winemaking for 20+ different clients.
​

What’s Linda’s edge?  An ability to craft distinctive yet well-balanced wines, and patience with every phase of winemaking from growing to bottling. The wines she’s proudest of are all made using natural methods without any manipulation. Each wine, as well as each vintage, is truly expressed in the glass.
