Future Women in Wine

Ryan Rose Wine is named after Winemaker, Rob Folin’s daughters: Taylor Rose and Addison Ryan.

Rob began his winemaking career in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. With over 20 harvests under his belt Rob has created a style, both personally and professionally that sets him apart. An internship at Domaine Serene winery in 2001 led to seven vintages where he worked his way up the ranks working alongside some of Oregon’s most iconic winemakers and viticulturist.

While fine tuning his skills in the cellar, in 2001, Folin, along with his parents, Scott and Loraine, converted their baby kiwi and alfalfa farm in the Rogue Valley into 25 acres of grapes, focusing on Rhone varieties: Viognier, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and what would turn out to be his signature grape: Tempranillo. In 2005 he made his first wines under the family label: Folin Cellars.

After 10 successful vintages, the Folin Cellars winery operation and tasting room closed in 2015 and Ryan Rose Wines was born.

In addition to making wines for himself, Folin is also the Head Winemaker at Belle Fiore Winery in Ashland, Oregon. He continues to make his mark in Southern Oregon and beyond with numerous accolades and the respect of his peers and loyal customers.
