Some of the most important moments begin with a simple invitation.
Long before the vines were planted, Adrian Baker walked the property with Dennis O'Rourke, imagining the future of what would become O'Rourke Family Estate. Their tour concluded at a home newly acquired by the estate, where two Adirondack chairs overlooked the valley below.
As they took their seats, Dennis smiled and said, "Well Adrian... We've been waiting for you."
There, among the rolling hills and endless possibility, Adrian signed his contract as the first winemaker of O'Rourke Family Estate.
The chairs remain today as an homage to the late Adrian Baker's lasting influence and the vision he helped bring to life before his passing.
Our Waiting For You Pinot Noir takes its name from that defining moment. A story of arrival, belonging, and legacy.
