Bergström Winery, Shea Vineyard, POMMARD BLOCK 'COLLECTORS SERIES', Oregon, Pinot Noir 2007

Stjerneregn over Bergström Wines

eRobertParker.com

The 2007 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard was sourced from multiple sites within this large property. Bergstrom takes 14 acres (approximately 10%) of Shea’s production from which he produces his “red meat and cheese Pinot”. Aromas of sandalwood, spice box, violets, black cherry, and black raspberry lead to a structured, ripe, layered Pinot with outstanding depth, balance, and length. The succulent flavors are about as hedonistic as it gets in this vintage. Give it 2-3 years of additional cellaring and drink it from 2012 to 2020. (Jay Miller)

If you want an unvarnished opinion about the state of affairs in Willamette Valley, Josh Bergstrom is someone who will tell it straight. His 2007s are uniformly successful as well as reflective of what the vintage provided.

Vinhusets Datablad

The de Lancellotti Vineyard, our second of three estate vineyards, is a seven acre Pinot Noir vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains Appellation of Oregon’s Northern Willamette Valley. This North to South facing dome-shaped hillside has been Demeter-certified Biodynamic since 2004. The sandy soils sit on a bedrock of sandstone and drain quickly in early spring, saving little to no water for the vines which have to dive their roots down several feet before finding any traces of water in the summertime. This stress creates wines of great structure with dark fruited profiles and a highly aromatic profile of sweet spices such as cinnamon, clove, anise and pepper.This is the darkest wine we have crafted from this vineyard, offering up an intense aromatic display. A myriad of fruits and spices including anise, pepper and incense with hints of peppermint, dark cherry, cassis and marionberry come to mind. This wine is poignant and juicy with a great natural acidity.Drink from 2007-2017. This wine is certified Biodynamic and available through our Tasting room, website and the National market in very limited quantities.Only 455 cases made
