Hello again Berserkers! Alex here. Greetings from Amity, Oregon, in the Willamette Valleyâs Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Iâm excited to be back for Silasâ 7th Berserker Day. Iâve put together some deals that I strongly suggest you consider while sitting down, in a safe space, and wearing your Amazing-Wine-Deal Anti-Drool Bib. (thatâs definitely wine in her mug). This year there I am also raffling off a FREE 3 bottle vertical of Silas Wines Pinots. Details below.
YOUR 55 SECOND BDXVI AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR READINâ, SILAS SUMMARY:
Silas is all about great small batch wine from Oregon made with organic and biodynamic grapes, picked early for acidity, spontaneous fermented, 14-18 months on lees, aged in bottle for 3-6 years (or until theyâre singing) before release. Yes, that 2017 is a current vintage. That 2016 as well. Our accountant, bless her soul, has mild panic attacks every year at tax time when we re-explain our business model. Something about ROI, delay, cost of goodsâŠsomething. This is the kind of wine we like to drink, so this is the kind of wine we make.
Pinot, of course, but also amazing Malbecs, Gamays, Rieslings and more. Old school, old world process. You should buy some. Itâs not like a lot of wine out there. I think youâll like it.
As for me, I get up every morning and do what I do because I am passionate about wine and the life I get to lead. I am not independently wealthy, this isnât a second trophy career after making it big, I donât have connections in the industry or wine writers on speed dial. Iâm an ex-chemist and standup comedian from NYC who opened a cafĂ© and wine bar in the East Village, fell in love with wine, moved out to Oregon and started from the ground up. Itâs a unique craft with tons of history, itâs how I feed my family, itâs beautiful, itâs frustrating, itâs Art. Sometimes itâs driving a forklift in the cold rain when youâd rather be doing anything but driving a forklift in the cold rain. Sometimes its absolutely sublime.
Because of the interest and support from Berserkers, I am very happy to offer deals that I can honestly say nobody else gets from Silas. Not Friends, not Family, not Nobody. A big Thank You all for the support and interest-I love hearing from you, meeting you around the country or at the tasting room. You make a lot of this possible and keep the boat floating.
Cheers from Amity-
Alex Clark - Winemaker, Janitor, Cellar Rat, Assistant to the General Manager.

SIX ridiculous offers for you, Berserkers:
Berserker Offer #1
Gamay Noir Trifecta â 3 bottles
· 2018 Gamay Noir â Croft Vineyard, Mt. Pisgah AVA
· 2019 Gamay Noir â Croft Vineyard, Mt. Pisgah AVA
· 2021 Gamay Noir â Croft Vineyard, Mt. Pisgah AVA
Our love of making Gamay started in 2014 with our version of a Cheverny table wine: about half and half Gamay Noir to Malbec, dark, rustic, jammy. From there we moved on to our pure Gamay Noir, trying to encapsulate what we love about Cru Beaujolais while expressing some of our own style: Whole cluster, somewhat reductive ferments that become nuanced, dark, fascinating Gamay Noirs. (Check out the wet slate and violet flower on the 2018.)
Retail $117 vs. BDXVI DEAL TODAY $82 (30% SAVINGS)! Order Here
Berserker Offer #2
Malbec/Viognier Blend Trifectaâ 3 bottles
· 2015 Optimist Malbec â Chamberlain Vineyard, Applegate Valley AVA
· 2016 Optimist Malbec â Chamberlain Vineyard, Applegate Valley AVA
· 2017 Loess Malbec â Leonetti Family Estate Loess Vineyard, Walla Walla AVA
These Malbec-Viognier blends, like Cahors meets CĂŽte-RĂŽtie, are one of a kind and a unique take on what Malbec can be. Not just a bruiser meant for a steakhouse, weâve made a host of Malbec converts who are tired of being able to light matches off their soft palate after a glass of Mendoza (cool party trick though it may be.). Aromatic blue fruit, floral perfume and a velvet rope softness. The 2017 is a special one off (donât ask how we got the fruit) from Leonettiâs Famous Loess Estate Vineyard in Walla Walla. All Viognier sourced from the Columbia Gorge AVA, 1300+ ft. elevation.
Retail $189 vs. BDXVI DEAL TODAY $130 (30+% SAVINGS)! Yes, Please
Berserker Offer #3
ROSĂ, WHITE â 3 bottles
· 2022 Bramble Skin Contact Pinot Gris Keeler Vineyard, Eola Amity Hills AVA
· 2020 Bois Joli Take 2 Riesling â Bois Joli Vineyard, Eola Amity Hills
· 2023 Sauvignon Blanc/SĂ©millon â Adams Vineyard, Chehalem Mountain AVA
We take pride in creating a small batch of unique whites and rosĂ© every year, displaying structure and complexity like the reds, and meant to be aged. The Riesling is absolutely singing and an amazing expression of that grape, and an example of why this is the favorite varietal of so many in the industry. The 2022 Skin Contact Gris is dry, with ruby color, great weight, and drinking really well-the opposite of bachelorette party rosĂ©. And yes, you read that year right: a Sauvignon Blanc / SĂ©millon out of the Willamette Valley. Itâs from the âhotâ part: Chehalem Mtn AVA, and some of this SB was accidentally grafted onto 1970s root stockâŠmaking it perhaps the oldest SB planting in the valley

Retail $93 vs. BDXIV DEAL TODAY $65 (30% SAVINGS)! Yasssssssssss!
Berserker Offer #4
SIX BOTTLE VERTICAL! â 6 bottles
· 2013 PDX Pinot Noir
· 2014 Pearl Pinot Noir
· 2015 PDX Pinot Noir
· 2016 Laddâs Addition Pinot Noir
· 2017 Laddâs Addition Pinot Noir
· 2018 Pearl Pinot Noir
Câmon, you didnât think youâd get through a Willamette Valley BD offer without a Pinot Vertical, right? A bottle from every year, 2013-2018. Take a tour of what was going on in Oregon, starting with a bottle from the Ugly Duckling year of 2013 that everybody wrote off, turning out to be elegant and beautiful with some age-very Burgundian. 2014 through 2018 were all warm years, but all warm years do not produce the same winesâsee for yourself. Higher elevation and earlier picking (I pick on pH just as much as Brix) result in hot vintages that have all the weight and fruit power that one expects, while retaining the structure and brightness that comes with not letting the acidity disappear. The 2018 Pearl is a pre-release wine, available only to my Wine Club (and you all today only!)
Warning: If you are exploring Oregon wines and years, you might want to sign yourself up for two of these.
Retail $324 vs. BDXIII DEAL TODAY $200 (almost 40% SAVINGS)!I want to drink those years
Berserker Offer #5
DRINK LIKE A WINEMAKER, SPEND LIKE A SORORITY GIRL â 12 bottles
OK, this is where it gets real. I think we all should be drinking more Pinot, and at these prices you can afford to have a bottle of powerful, elegant wine on your table no matter what day of the week it is. These are wines that I am day-to-day drinking (and day drinking) the most at the moment. And so, so different. I am happy to give Berserkers the opportunity to pick up a case of these wines at ridiculously low (i.e. donât tell my accountant until after BDXVI) prices. And shipping is still only $20
· 4 bottles - 2015 PDX Pinot Noir
· 4 bottles - 2016 Pearl Pinot Noir
· 4 bottles - 2017 Laddâs Addition Pinot Noir
Retail $628 vs. TAKE A CASE HOME TODAY FOR $314 (50% SAVINGS WHAT?!?) Limited number of cases available, as this is below wholesale pricing! Yep-thatâs like $26/bottle for small batch, elegant Willamette Valley Pinot Noir with 8-10 years of age on it. Unreal. yes. Yes. YES!
Berserker Mega Offer #6
Go Big Or Go Home - 36 Bottles
âSmokey, this is not âNam. This is bowling. There are rules.â ($20/Bottle Killer Pinot Noir)
Well, sorry Walter Sobchak, but we are throwing out the rules. Here it is. $20/bottle top tier Pinot from the Willamette Valley. This is pretty much distribution pricing, and sweaty-palms-close to break even price. The PDX Pinot Noir is already priced lower than my others, though coming from the same vineyard sources and same processes, so that I can offer a sub-$30 high quality OR Pinot to people working in service (that have a Champagne palate with a Mountain Dew Credit Score, if you know what I mean.) And here we go taking that pricing and drop kicking it. This aggression will not stand, man. Jump on this deal before it goes the way of Donnie.
Three Cases of Killer Pinot Noir, delivered to you
· 12 Bottles 2016 Laddâs Addition Pinot Noir
· 12 Bottles 2017 Laddâs Addition Pinot Noir
· 12 Bottles 2017 PDX Pinot Noir
$20/Bottle. $720 for 3 cases. Thatâs not a typo. Twenty. Dollars. Thatâs probably over $1,000 discounted off retail. I donât even want to look it up. Please donât tell my accountant.
OK we did it. I need a sit down and a glass of warm milk. With some Rum in it.
