Sourced exclusively from 15 acres of Pinot Noir from the first plantings at the Estate vineyard in the Salem Hills, Founder Jim Bernau planted these vines using a Christmas tree planter pulled behind his 33-horsepower tractor in 1983.
On the Nose: Ruby red in the glass, aromas of cherry pie, dried cranberry, cinnamon, fresh boysenberry and graham cracker delight the nose.
On the Palate: The palate carries flavors of strawberry, Italian plums, crushed herbs and cedar. Vibrant tannins and acidity lead to a lingering finish.
Food pairings: The Bernau Block craves savory and grilled meat pairings, including beef Wellington, Oregon lamb chops, smoked salmon, crabcakes and dishes featuring native Oregon truffles.
Peak Drinkability: 2025 - 2035
