Really interesting Pinot. This wine is very young and should age very well. Deep ruby color lots of fruit and a lot more tannins. When I opened the bottle the tannins were over bearing and had a grassy aftertaste. When I tasted the same bottle the next day it was FAR more balanced. The fruit was still great but the tannins were much softer and well balanced. This wine can hold up to more cellar time but if I had decanted it would have been better. While this wine was pretty pricey ($100), I think it is worth it! — 20 days ago

2018 vintage. Last tasted 11.18.21 (9.5). Decanted and tasted after two hours. Medium body. Coming together very nicely. Both fruit and grip. No rush to crush. 8.1.24. — 6 months ago

2021 vintage. A little softer than recently-tasted, alternative efforts. Plenty of concentration throughout. 5.12.23. — 2 years ago

Beautiful wine. Elegant. Worth cellaring longer — 2 months ago

Lite notes of cola and stewed plums on the nose. Palate displays a supple tannic structure, but lacks the density and texture I have come to expect from this bottling. Comes across as somewhat hollow on the mid palate. Serviceable, but not great in my mind. — 3 months ago

The best of the single vineyard chardonnay we got from Bërgstrom. The La Spirale was full bodied, bold wine with deep color and green apple. — 2 years ago

Drank 5/11/23 at Aragosta, big, clearly Oregon style yet lush and full through the finish. Definitely worth buying more. — 2 years ago

Everyone called Oregon Pinot right off the bat. Very good rendition at that — 2 months ago

Beautiful wine. Fragrant flowery nose. Light cherry clean flavor. Lively and fresh with a tannic and earthy finish. Leave open 1 hour before consuming. — 3 months ago

The labels give no indication where the grapes are sourced (it’s an “American Syrah”), but I’m getting campfire embers and olive brine in the nose, musky lillies, and deep red berries under it all, so I’m guessing there is a fair amount of Walla Walla fruit in this. The palate is smooth, deep, and richly fruity, but completely avoids any jamminess. There’s lots of very fine-grained tannin, and the acids are nice. Love the low (13.2%) alcohol. Surprisingly good! — 2 years ago
