Tasting Notes

In 2021, I stumbled upon the Bednarik Vineyard. I contacted Grant to gather information about the vineyard, and he kindly agreed to meet with me via Zoom. I will always remember his vivid description of the first time he saw the vineyard. Although I had always wanted to delve deeper into the vineyard and write about its story in the newsletter, I never got around to it. However, the next best thing was discussing this hidden treasure of a vineyard in Cherry Grove on the podcast. Grant's enthusiasm shines through in the conversation, and I'm glad to finally spread the word about the Bednarik Vineyard. The Hundred Suns Bednarik Vineyard Pinot Noir from 2022 is a truly enchanting gem. It's one of those wines that quickly sells out. I would describe it as a wine that flawlessly balances the line between dark and light red fruits. The tannins are skillfully integrated, leaving you craving for more with every sip. 👇 👇 👇 👇 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 Would you like to get a Saturday morning email once a month to read with your coffee giving you insider tips on events, news, and an in-depth perspective on a winery?
