The Estate Pinot Noir expresses the terroir of estate vineyards - the original planting by Founder Jim Bernau at the winery in the Salem Hills, Tualatin Estate planted by Oregon wine pioneer Bill Fuller in the foothills of the Coastal Range and Elton planted by Dick and Betty O'Brien on the east face of the Eola-Amity Hills.

Bright ruby in the glass, the wine exemplifies the classic "Willamette Valley style" with savory and fruit-forward aromas of potpourri, sage, red currant and raspberry. The wine is medium-bodied on the palate and offers flavors of forest floor, licorice, orange peel and red cherry, concluding with fresh acidity and integrated tannins.

This wine will pair beautifully with traditional Pinot Noir dishes, including Oregon lamb, duck breast with fruit compote, chicken sausage with fennel and apples, cedar plank grilled salmon and aged cheeses.
