Us: A collision of elements—the intensity of a warmer 2023 vintage with the hyper-elegance of Bednarik’s very cool location (literally) and old vines–yielded an especially exciting Bednarik bottling. Typical Bednariks are lithe, even a little shy in their youth but this one? Hah, fat chance–this is generous, replete with silky, plump red fruits and delicate spice accents. Entirely ready for your glass!
Grant and Renee: Rooted in marine sedimentary soil deep in the cool coastal foothills, this 6-acre, own-rooted vineyard was planted in 1988. A late start to the vintage and the cool conditions of this special site led us to pick the grapes almost two weeks after all our other pinot sites. The extended hang time created a stunning wine, both serious and playful, with pure Mt. Hood strawberries, cherry, hibiscus tea, and tangerine with fresh, silky tannins.
2021 vintage notes
"Everything we look for from Bednarik," Grant emphasized how special 2021 is for the Bednarik bottling. Bednarik's stately old vines delivered amazingly succulent red fruits with an expressive and beguiling botanical lift, accented by orange peel and fennel on the sweetly red fruited, gently savory finish. A super-silky old-vine feel elongates the flavors. -Marcus
2018 vintage notes
A symphonic spectrum of beautiful reds, showing old-vine elegance and class. Brushstrokes of bright tones over a savory foundations kept us enthralled through the sweetly-fruited yet wonderfully cool finish. Speaking of cool, Bednarik is a small, 6-acre vineyard in the Coast Range with old vines, planted to Pommard and Wadenswil clones in 1988. - Marcus
