Burton Bitman 2022 Farm Blend Pinot Noir
Farming First
We are family-owned and family-run, but we’re different. Conscious of the needs of our local community and our global community, we conduct our business with a view towards the long term - not five years, or ten, but 100 and more. Like the domains of Burgundy, we want our family to be able to sustainably grow grapes, make wine, and savor life in this same place where we are now.
With that in mind, our winery looks a little different from most. We don’t have a physical winery dedicated to the production of just our wines and we don’t have a tasting room. What we do have is great wines at human-sized prices and innovative new ways to help you experience them alongside the community that makes them possible.

2022 Farm Blend Pinot Noir
A winemaking story of a family over generations, Burton Bittman Wines was born and raised in the Dundee Hills AVA.
This is the second vintage of our Farm Blend and is 100% own-rooted, Pommard clone Pinot noir from the original planting at Tukwilla Vineyard and Geary Farm. This clone makes a warm, friendly, welcoming Pinot noir that’s easy to fall in love with. Known for intense, dark red fruit, spice, and structured tannins, it produces aromatic, savory, and age-worthy wines often described as having cola, cherry, and forest floor notes. The Pommard clone (specifically UCD 4, 5, and 6) is a premier Pinot Noir selection imported from Burgundy in the 1940s/50s. A very site-dependent clone that reflects the specific soil and climate (terroir) where it is planted. The 2022 vintage gave us perfectly ripe fruit, which was the base for this expressive, classic finished wine.
