2021 Willamette Valley Vineyards 'Bernau Block' Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
Winemaker Notes: Deep garnet in the glass, the wine opens with a nose of bramble fruit, plum, herbs and graphite notes. Showcasing concentration, the palate is packed with flavors of red and black fruit framed by cedar, dark chocolate and cinnamon spice.
Sourced exclusively from 15 acres of Pinot Noir from the first plantings at the Estate Vineyard, Founder Jim Bernau planted these vines using a Christmas tree planter pulled behind his 33 horsepower tractor. He grafted the French clones 667 and 777 on a portion of the vines when they became available.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Enthusiast - "Balance, restrained alcohol and a silky smooth mouthfeel are just a few of this wine's highlights. It opens with rich aromas of blackberry jam, dark chocolate and fresh-pulled espresso shots. Blackberries dominate on the palate, joined by traces of lemon citrus and balsa. Enjoy with Coltrane and mushroom omelette. "
