2017 Willamette Valley Vineyards Bernau Estate Brut

This inaugural vintage is crafted using méthode traditionnelle sourced from estategrown pinot noir and chardonnay. This blend combines the structure and vibrancy of pinot noir with the finesse and roundness of chardonnay. The wine was aged on its lees for 23 months to develop added complexity before being disgorged. Fine bubbles elevate an inviting bouquet of golden apple, shortbread, white florals, and zesty ginger. Attractive apricot and citrus notes meld seamlessly on the palate with almond and brioche flavors gained from extended sur lie aging. The creamy and elegant structure combined with bright acidity carry these flavors through the lingering vibrant finish.

2018 Willamette Valley Vineyards Griffin Creek Syrah

For more than two decades we have been working with the Moore family, dedicated growers crafting the highest-quality wines from their Rogue Valley vineyards since 1996. With temperatures similar to France’s Bordeaux or Rhône regions, this area is an emerging Oregon region. Dark garnet with purple and blue hues illuminates from the glass giving perfumes of blueberry pie, allspice, and violet florals. Fruits of bing cherries, boysenberries, and elderberries are balanced with savory notes of dried oregano, sage, white and black pepper, and minerality. Fine grain of milk chocolate with medium body tannins stay consistent and persist as the flavors linger for a long-lasting finish.

Sourced exclusively from 15 acres of pinot noir from the first plantings at the Estate Vineyard, Founder Jim Bernau planted these vines using a Christmas tree planter pulled behind his 33-horsepower tractor. He grafted the French clones 667 and 777 on a portion of the vines when they became available.
