Translated into "Father Friend," this wine is sourced from the Umpqua Valley as a dedication to Founder Jim Bernau’s father. As a small-town lawyer, Jim’s father helped re-establish Oregon's wine industry in the early 1960s when he assisted Richard Sommer of HillCrest Vineyard in getting the first wine-grape winery license post-prohibition.

On the Nose: A blend of Syrah and Tempranillo, the wine offers rich aromas of black cherry, licorice, nutmeg and barrel notes.

On the Palate: the wine features fig, dried cranberry, baking spice and toasted hazelnut. This full-bodied wine is structured with firm tannins, balancing acidity and incredible length on the finish.

Food Pairings: This wine pairs well with protein dishes with slightly sweet or spicy sauces. Enjoy with steak sirloin, shrimp and steak fajitas, pasta pomodoro e pepe and Manchego Cheeses.
