RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

Complex array of dark fruit, floral and exotic spice qualities on the deeply perfumed nose; a smoky mineral nuance gains volume as the wine opens up. Shows fine definition and spicy lift to the sweet cherry liqueur, cassis, candied violet and spicecake flavors, which slowly deepen through the midpalate. Blends power and finesse with a sure hand and shows impressive energy and mineral thrust on a very long, gently tannic finish.

93James Suckling

...smoky, peppery nose with aromas of black fruit, citrus zest, smoked meat and dried chili...medium-bodied, bright and juicy with firm yet fine tannins and a plush texture. Caressing finish.

91The Wine Advocate

...opens with blackcurrant, blueberries, gravel dust, violets, boysenberry, sagebrush, white pepper and hints of olives on the nose—what lovely fresh, crunchy fruits. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and fresh, finishing long and floral.

PRODUCER

Bergstrom Winery (Second Label)

Bergstrom Wines is located in Oregon’s famous Willamette Valley, the heart of Oregon’s Pinot Noir country. Though the winery is young, having produced its first vintage only in 1999, it is already winning accolades from critics and connoisseurs. Owned by John and Karen Bergstrom, the estate includes a total of 37 acres planted to Pinot Noir and 5 acres planted to Chardonnay. Prior to creating the winery’s first vintage, son Josh Bergstrom spent time in Burgundy learning winemaking and vineyard practices. The winery is organic and prides itself on artisanal winemaking.

REGION

United States, Washington

Washington State, with 59,000 vineyard acres, is the second largest producer of wine in the United States. Wine was made in the state as early as the mid-19th century, but Prohibition and, later, restrictive state laws killed the wine making business in the 20th century until the 1960s, when laws changed and large and small producers started making wines. An influential horticulturalist and agriculture professor name Walter J. Clore studied various grape clones in the 1960s to find the best ones for Washington, and by the 1970s Yakima Valley, Walla Walla and Columbia Valley had all become important grape growing areas. The best vineyards in the state are east of the Cascade Mountain range, where hot dry summers and cold winters are conducive to successful viticulture. Numerous grape varieties are grown, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc at the head of the list.

TYPE

Red Wine, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
