  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Quail Run Vineyards, purchased in 1989 by Don and Traute Moore Author: MJ Daspit; Eric Weisinger, South Stage Cellars (Or.) Don and Traute Moore purchased the original 13 acres of Quail Run Vineyards in 1989. They began experimenting with varietals and expanded over the years to 10 vineyards totaling 280 acres in several diverse micro-climates of the Rogue Valley. Quail Run produces over 20 varietals, most of which go to make award-winning wines produced by Willamette Valley wineries. The Moore established an estate label, South Stage Cellars with a 2006 Merlot and expanded to 7 varietals the following year, all custom made by Joe Dobbs of Dundee, Oregon. The South Stage Cellars tasting room opened in 2008 in an 1865 stone building in the historic town of Jacksonville. About 25 wines are available to taste, many bearing labels from wineries to the north, but all made from the Moores’ grapes.
