Our Story

  • Estate Pinot Gris, Harvest 2014

Award winning wine-makers, Scott Nelson and his son, Cameron, have created Résolu Cellars to produce single varietal wines and unique blends that stand out for their overall quality and value, vintage after vintage.  Combining considerable experience, industry recognition, hard work, and proven expertise, Résolu Cellars delivers a collection of ultra-premium NW wines that suit a wide spectrum of wine-occasions ranging from the cocktail hour to fancy meals to celebrations.

Résolu represents the excellence to which Scott and Cameron have devoted themselves.  Grape selection is based on careful study of which varieties thrive in the Northwest, and which growers bring a winning partnership.   From Pinot Noir, Viognier and other cool weather grapes of the Willamette Valley to highly sought Bordeaux and Italian big-bold reds of the Columbia Valley the Résolu team procures the finest grapes for the finest wines.  What makes Résolu Cellars wines so worthy of the awards various vintages have earned owes heavily to Scott and Cameron’s relentless pursuit of excellence.  Continuous improvement is the driving force that propels Scott and Cameron to take all the right steps to help ensure that the finished product is made with great care and creativity.

A hallmark of Résolu is its customer satisfaction.  Résolu caters to those with refined wine palates.  Résolu also provides fan gatherings to help these wine-lovers learn more about production, understand taste differentiation, and feel like part of the Résolu “family.”  That bond between this boutique winery and its customers gives Résolu Cellars unique qualities that establish and maintain customer loyalists who treasure not only the classic and distinct taste of the red and white varieties but also the art (and science) of creating such treats.

Today our production focus is Viognier and a Rosé of Pinot Noir for our ‘whites’.  Our Red Wines include: Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Primitivo, Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and our robust ‘Triomphe’ – a Bordeaux style blend of all five principle Bordeaux grapes.

So, buying premium wines can—and should– be an uplifting and fulfilling experience.  The Résolu approach to wine creation and production targets, consistently achieves customer satisfaction.  Very frequently, those buying a Résolu Cellars wine will comment directly to Scott that the wine surpassed expectations for beauty, aroma, flavor, and value.  To learn more about Résolu Cellars current wines go to Our-Wines.  There are several tasting events we hold during the year which you can attend—and we warmly invite you to do so; learn more.
