2022 Père Ami Red Blend

Père Ami, a red blend, is dedicated to Founder Jim Bernau’s Father, Fred Bernau. Père Ami, translated to “Father Friend,” is sourced from the Umpqua Valley, where Fred was a small town lawyer, as well as a big believer in the future of Oregon wine. He helped re-establish Oregon’s wine industry in the early 1960s when he assisted Richard Sommer of HillCrest Vineyard in getting the first winery license post-prohibition.

On the Nose: A blend of Syrah, Tempranillo and Merlot, the nose offers aromas of violets, cranberry, anise, potpourri and boysenberry.

On the Palate: The wine’s complex flavor profile includes fruity, earthy notes of black cherry, black tea and baking spices alongside tart counterpoints of raspberry, pomegranate and black currant. This full-bodied wine is structured with firm tannins, balancing acidity and incredible length on the finish.

Food pairings: Pair with protein dishes with slightly sweet or spicy sauces like Korean short ribs, pork with grilled vegetables and Manchego cheese.
