2022 Mon Pere Pinot Noir
2022 Mon Pere Pinot Noir
Meaning “My Father” in French, “Mon Pere” is meant to honor my father and fathers everywhere while providing tremendous value in a Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. As such, it is the flagship bottling and largest production wine Lundeen makes to be able to reach far and wide with the message of valuing family, integrity, and stewardship. The creation of the wine always begins with grapes from the Lundeen Estate vineyard in McMinnville, Oregon on which Michael is a 3rd generation Lundeen raising a 4th. Beyond this estate, the “Mon Pere” bottling contains wines from various vineyards we farm throughout the northern Willamette Valley. As it is broadly sourced as well as hand-crafted, “Mon Pere” always has complexity beyond what is typical at its price point. This daily drinking Oregon Pinot Noir will not disappoint.

vintage
2022 was a wild roller coaster ride with a spectacular finish. After a profoundly damaging spring frost the summer picked up the slack and delivered not only a bountiful crop, but also gave beautiful weather all the way into October, helping us get everything beautifully ripe. Grapes were healthy and balanced, with flavors developed well beyond typical for the modest sugar levels. Some outstanding wines of all types.
