Years ago, Founder Jim Bernau began experimenting with Pinot Noir by gently dropping hand-picked whole clusters in a chilled stainless fermenter, pushing all the oxygen out with CO2 and sealing the vessel tight. What happened next was magical — the berries started to swell and turn pink. When they burst, they released the most aromatic, fermenting Pinot Noir.

Founder Jim Bernau traveled with the Oregon Governor's Delegation to Burgundy in the 1980s to seek out French clones to improve our state's quality. These vines were brought back and quarantined at Oregon State University before being propagated for use in Oregon vineyards. Naturally derived Dijon Clones from France being planted in the Willamette Valley was one of the greatest tipping points in Oregon wine quality.

This wine was developed years ago by the late Winemaker Forrest Klaffke, who kept it locked away from Founder Jim Bernau to deter him from sampling tour groups on it from the barrel. The day before his passing, he gave the key to Jim and we have continued to make the wine according to his methods ever since.
Inoculated with wine spirits and brandy, this wine features inviting notes of caramel, toffee and chocolate covered cherries. On the palate, the balance of sweetness and acidity creates a beautifully harmonious sip with flavors of amaretto, dark fruit, cocoa and holiday spice.
