Region: Oregon
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2017 - Size: 750 ml. - Type: Red
The 2017 Bergström Wines Silice Pinot Noir is dark ruby red in color. The aromatic profile is not unlike a complex potpourri of fruits, spices, and herbs mixed with a saline note that makes the finish succulent and juicy. This is whole-cluster Pinot Noir at its finest. This wine is ripe, round and velvety, but also possesses the acidity and tannins of the vintage, much like a marionberry or boysenberry, which sew it up nicely in a very approachable wine now, but will also benefit from time in the cellar.Medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Silice Vineyard opens with fresh tangerine peel, baked cranberries, dried bark and rose petals scents with notions of licorice, cured meats, pepper and spiced blackberries. The palate is medium-bodied and über spicy, with lovely orange and potpourri nuances. It has a firm, lightly chalky frame and great freshness on the finish. This merits another year in bottle.
James Suckling: 93
This has an exotic edge with candied red cherries and raspberries, swathed in flowers and spice. The palate has a smoothly succulent edge that carries plenty of depth into the finish. Nicely weighted. Drink or hold.
