Located in an historic
dairy barn, just 20 miles west of Portland, Beran winery is dedicated
to the exclusive production of small
quantities of
premium estate bottled Pinot noir. Bill, a physicist who helped create some of Tektronics' first color
displays and printers back in the 70s, started his home winemaking with
a batch of cherry wine, and got hooked. He has made wine ever since,
and currently produces about 500 cases of premium Pinot noir each year.
The vineyard and winery is in Laurelwood. Surrounded by mature vines planted in 1972 and 1979, the winery has
a sweeping view of Mt. Hood and the nearby Chehalem Mountains, making
it one of the most picturesque sites in the area. The wine's intense fruit and soft finish is a result of low yields and
slow aging in French oak barrels. The winery's commitment to quality
begins with the family winemaking philosophy: "Hands on in the vineyard
and hands off in the winery". About the Winery
