Founder's Collection

A three-bottle collection representing Oregon wine pioneers Jim Bernau, Bill Fuller and Betty O'Brien. These limited estate-grown wines are made only in select vintages using our highest-quality Pinot Noir, presented in a custom Willamette Valley Vineyards branded wood box.

About the wines:

2022 Bernau Estate Pinot Noir
A bouquet of raspberry tart, cherry pie and tamarind candy greets the nose followed by darker smells of root beer, toasted oak and toffee. Flavors of red currant, cherry coke, dates, cranberry, leather, marzipan and crème de cassis please the palate. The wine is fresh and light, with balanced tannins and body for a lingering finish. Grown in the Dundee Hills AVA.

2021 Fuller Pinot Noir
Dark ruby red illuminates the glass. Bright and succulent aromas include raspberry, lingonberry, cacao powder, cedar box and forest floor. The palate is structured with fine tannins and flavors of dark cherry, cola, toasted oak and balsamic reduction. This wine showcases our top-performing barrels from Tualatin Estate Vineyard and encapsulates the delicious Pinot Noir grown at this heritage site. Grown in the Willamette Valley AVA.

2022 O'Brien Pinot Noir
Ruby in color, the wine offers aromas of bing cherries, ripe pomegranate, cola, forest floor, sweet oak and dried tarragon. Flavors recall Mt. Hood strawberries, dried hibiscus flowers, rose hips, black currant and cedar. On the palate, the balanced tannins and acidity lead to a long finish. This wine shows a beautiful contrast of floral and elegant characteristics compared to more structured single-vineyard Pinot Noirs. Grown in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA.
