Wine of the Week: 2020 Fender's Rest PN
By PaulG On Wine September 2022
"Bryn Mawr 2020 Fender's Rest Vineyard Pinot Noir - This is a new vineyard for me, and the first time it's been made as a vineyard select for the winery. It's dark and lush with vibrant blackberry and boysenberry fruit. Winemaker Rachel Rose teases the more elegant aspects out around the potent core of fruit and acid and tannins. The barrel aging (25% new) adds a lovely toasty note resonating across the finish. Drink this now and over the next five years."
2018 Bryn Mawr Vineyards Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay
By Winerabble September 2022
"I was first struck by the abundant minerality and acidity in this Chardonnay. Mouth puckering tartness washed over my tongue– citrus flavors of lemons, lime, and lemon zest, along with wet stone. When I was a kid, I used to suck on lemons and this wine reminded me of the delight I used to get doing so! This Chardonnay had a clean, lemon-flavored ice milk finish that left me thirsty for my next sip."

Riesling Rises Again...And Again, And Again, And Again
By PaulG On Wine July 2022
"Bryn Mawr Vineyards 2021 Estate Riesling - I wish more wineries would print the dryness scale on the back label, as done here. It's not infallible, but gives consumers a good idea of the basic style of the wine. This is dry, a tick or two below medium dry on the scale. Just enough residual sugar to smooth over the penetrating acidity and add a hint of spun sugar. Big fruit is the focus, a lush mid-palate loaded with blood orange, gooseberry, apple and white peach. It's a juicy, refreshing wine that nails all the flavor points for a dry Oregon Riesling."

How to Find the Very Best of Oregon's Rosé Wines
By Forbes April 2022
"Bryn Mawr Rosé of Pinot Noir - It uses the Dijon 777 clone exclusively for its rosé. The 777 has small berries, which gives a low ratio of juice to skins. The musts also receive extended skin contact and are barrel fermented. The result is a hefty rosé with pronounced red berry and tropical fruit notes, an obvious, but well-integrated, tannic backbone and a noticeable minerality."
