Producer Notes: “Everything is Everything. Its a phrase we first heard from Lauryn Hill, and one thats come to gain greater meaning for us in a post-pandemic world. We interpret it as consciously accepting, adapting to, and thriving in ones situation, with an attitude that it will work out in the end, no matter how much turmoil youre going through.

Often in winemaking, there will be a barrel that just doesnt quite work for its intended home. It has sharp elbows in some fashion and is therefore held back from a final blend. Weve long desired to craft a wine where these barrels can find harmony together–a wine intended to be popped on a weeknight and guzzled with abandon. This style was perfected by Sean Thackrey with his Pleiades blend, and this is our homage to one of our winemaking heroes.” – Cameron and Marlen Porter

Cameron and Marlen Porter started Amplify Wines with the goal of making wines that enhance the most singular characteristics of a given vineyard, marrying a sense of place with a sense of style. Although not fans of dogma, there are certain winemaking and farming principles that are central to their beliefs: native yeast fermentations, neutral vessels for fermentation and aging, no additions of any kind beyond sulfur, embracing happy accidents and letting intuition be their guide, and farming that seeks to establish a healthy ecosystem, embracing the natural characteristics of a given place. And by following that intuition, they have created some gorgeous and authentic wines. Wines that truly amplify the voice of site.
