2013 Bergström Pinot Noir Gregory Ranch

The 2013 Pinot Noir Gregory Ranch Vineyard is 100% biodynamic, the vineyard with four unique exposures that are harvested and fermented separated. It is also Bergstrom's coolest vineyard at 425-foot elevation and it was one of the wines picked after the rains. It has a more mineral-driven nose compared to Bergstrom's other 2013s: quite tensile with cold stone aromas infusing the cranberry and wild strawberry. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, plenty of dark berry fruit, the 50% whole cluster fruit lending some undergrowth and spicy aromas towards the finish. This is a very commendable Pinot Noir from Bergstrom.
