Expressing the terroir of our three estate vineyards — the original planting by Founder Jim Bernau​ in the Salem Hills​, Tualatin Estate planted by Oregon wine pioneer Bill Fuller in the foothills of the Coastal Range and Elton ​Vineyard ​planted by Dick and Betty O'Brien in the Eola-Amity Hills.

On the Nose: This wine exemplifies the classic "Willamette Valley style" with aromas of black cherry, rich spices of clove and anise, and savory herbs and earth.

On the Palate: Medium-bodied, round and juicy, the palate offers flavors that mirror aromas with the addition of raspberry puree and clove and concludes with bright acidity and integrated tannins.

Food pairings: This wine will pair beautifully with traditional Pinot Noir dishes including Oregon lamb, duck breast with fruit compote, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, cedar plank grilled salmon, recipes with mushrooms or earthy truffles and aged cheeses.
