The Burger family celebrated in 2023 the 40th anniversary of their historic project in Yamhill County near McMinnville, Ore., and that milestone came on the heels of Denis Burger being honored by the International Federation of Wine Brotherhoods — a group that includes Susan Sokol Blosser and the late Allen Shoup. Winemaker Ariel Eberle earned the family a Platinum for this Pinot Noir from that year, and it gushes with cherry compote and strawberry-rhubarb pie. It’s a jammy expression that brings a sensuous mouth feel and a finish of Herbes de Provence and salinity. Qualifying awards: San Francisco Chronicle (gold), Sunset International (gold), McMinnville (double gold)
