Each vintage, Mon Pere Pinot Noir delivers quality, sustainability and genuine value. Lundeen believes in crafting a distinctive wine that promotes the Willamette Valley’s unique origins and embraces a classic expression of Pinot Noir. Meaning “My Father” in French, “Mon Père” is meant to honor the winemaker's father and fathers everywhere while providing tremendous value in a Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. As such, it is the flagship bottling and the creation of the wine always begins with grapes from the Poverty Bend Estate Vineyard on which Michael is a 3rd generation Lundeen raising a 4th.

Winemaking: Hand-harvested. Grapes were mostly destemmed (15% wholecluster). Gently pressed and settled before aging in a combination of stainless steel tank and French oak barrels for 8 months prior to blending and bottling. 

Tasting Notes: "This is a rustic mix of berry, mushroom, leather and forest floor flavors. It's a chewy, tart wine, with rough tannins and flavors that hint of the tack room. All that said, it's got a lot going on, the acidity keeps it lively, and it would be a fine bottle to enjoy with grilled blood sausage or fragrant cheeses."
