The other evening we opened the 2019 Bergström Gregory Ranch Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton AVA. From Newberg, Oregon.

On the nose is strawberry, cherry, raspberry, cranberry, spice, rose petal, barnyard, matchbox and earth.

On the palate there is strawberry, cherry, raspberry, cranberry, spice, mushroom and earth.

This wine is medium to full bodied with a smooth bright mouthfeel medium + acidity and medium fine polished tannins that leaves you with a long red fruit forest floor finish. This is a seriously good wine. I hope everyone's holiday weekend has been one good with lots of sharing and happiness with family and friends. Stay safe and healthy the rest of the weekend. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

A nice pinot with smoky notes. Tobacco, black pepper. Different from standard fare

Planted in 2007, big wine in a big vintage. Cooler site, on the west side of the AVA out by elk cove and BTF. Another stunner, 15’s have fruit for days, maybe years. This wine is 100% whole cluster, the only in the lineup, all of the wines are ticking up in percentage every year but this one tops the chart and is distinctly different on the nose and has a silkier texture than the other bottlings

Gorgeous aromatics. Black cherries, cinnamon and cardamom, and fresh morels on the nose. Dark, concentrated fruit on the entry with spicy and long finish. Fine tannic structure. A baby.

Dark & earthy and red rose florals on the nose. Natural of a cool climate which is where this hails from. Fruits are dark & ripe. Lots of blackberries, dark cherries, dark raspberries, cherries, some strawberries, dark red florals and heavy on dry dark earth and minerals. Brilliant acidly. If you like your Pinot's earthy, this is your kind of Pinot.
