Sarah Cabot
Battle Creek Cellars + Primarius
Winemaker
Sarah is an incredibly dynamic winemaker and individual. Her story has taken her from the esteemed halls of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she earned a Bachelor’s of Art in Jazz Composition, to finding a love of wine working as a sommelier during college. That passion led her back to her native Pacific Northwest to become one of Oregon’s top winemakers.
Today, she joins of a very short list of winemakers who crush more than 1,000 tons of Pinot Noir per year while making critically acclaimed wines with each vintage.
From her boutique roots, Sarah joined Primarius Winery to bring the best of Oregon Pinot Noir to wine lovers throughout the country at an extraordinary value believing that everyone should be able to experience it. She also helped to reinvigorate Battle Creek Cellars to further tell the story of Oregon’s nuanced terroir.
In 2015, Sarah made the personal decision to abstain from consuming alcohol as a way to center her mind, body and soul. She still tastes her wines to ensure their flavor and profile and says she believes she is creating her best wines to-date. Her decision also reconnected with her athleticism and the outdoors and she’s always looking for new ways to get involved with the community.
