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.

On the Nose: A bright ruby hue typifies this classically styled Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Savory and fruit aromas of potpourri, ripe cranberries, white pepper and baking spices wake up the nose.

On the Palate: Dried herbs, red cherry and craisins flavor the palate. Fresh acidity and low tannins meld seamlessly for a smooth finish.

Food Pairings: The wine pairs best with savory dishes like beef bourguignon, grilled entrées like pork loin and cedar-plank salmon, charcuterie and aged cheeses.
