Tasting notes
Limpid ruby. Exotically spiced red and blue fruit and floral aromas show outstanding clarity and take on a smoky mineral quality as the wine opens up. Juicy and penetrating on the palate, offering alluringly sweet raspberry, boysenberry, floral pastille and spicecake flavors that deftly meld concentration with delicacy. The strikingly long, smooth finish features rounded tannins and emphatic spice and floral notes.

Medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Winery Block is scented of tangerine peel, Earl Grey tea leaves, saline, cracked pepper and a touch of horse saddle over a core of Bing cherries, blackberries and cranberries—these 2017s from Bergstrom are so perfumed and spicy! The medium-bodied palate is more serious, with dark fruits, a gently chalky frame and great freshness, finishing long and nuanced. This absolutely deserves more time in bottle.
Perhaps just a little muted next to the 2016 of this wine. Muscular. Tight and musclebound. Needs time. (JR)
