Josh Raynolds - Vinous Media
"Brilliant ruby-red. Impressively complex and expressive on the nose, displaying intense red fruit, Asian spice, potpourri and botanical herb scents along with a bright mineral overtone. Delivers a compelling blend of power and finesse on the palate, offering sweet raspberry liqueur, cherry cola and floral pastille flavors that deepen and become spicier on the back half. Shows impressive focus and lift on an extremely long, subtly tannic finish that leaves behind notes of candied raspberry and allspice."
94 Wine Enthusiast
"Sourced from the estate's original 1999 plantings, this is a chewy, majestic, earthy and deeply dark wine. Its black fruit is ribbed wtih iron, licorice, coffee and graphite notes and framed by earthy tannins that lend texture. It drinks bigger than its listed alcohol would suggest."
93 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com
"This pinot noir shows red berries, violet and chocolate. Almond undertones, too. Medium to full body with well integrated and precise tannins and a cool and resonant finish. The tannins here need to soften. Delicious now but better in 2020."
92 Wine Spectator
"Sleekly complex and dynamic, with bright cherry and floral tea aromas and vibrant red plum and smoky anise flavors that glide toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2024. 500 cases made. -TF"
92 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Bergstrom Vineyard has an intoxicating perfume of roses, violets and Chinese five spice with Provence herbs and fertile earth nuances over a core of warm cherries and raspberry preserves. Medium to full-bodied with a firm structure of chewy tannins supporting the generous fruit, it has a lively herbal character that lingers a good long time."
