2018 Bergstrom Winery Pinot Noir, Silice Vineyard

The 2018 Pinot Noir Silice Vineyard has broody aromas of tar and dark fruits on the nose with touches of dried herbs and flowers. The medium-bodied palate is firm and fresh, its dark fruits still youthfully coiled. Give it a couple years in bottle. ~ (92) Erin Brooks, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 12-30-2020

Instantly appealing pinot. Complex and powerfully fragrant with violets, blackcurrants and purple cherries, as well as fresh wild herbs and swirling spices. Then, a smooth, succulent feel to the palate follows with such sleek, fine tannins and a supple, silky run to the finish. Such a consistent wine. Drink or hold. ~ (94) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 1-15-2020

Bright pale crimson. Savoury nose with fine tannins. Complete with firm red-cherry notes. You could drink this now but there is no hurry. Lots of drive! ~ (17) Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com 7-3-2021

Vibrantly structured and wiry with tension, yet polished, offering raspberry and cherry flavors, laced with basil and spice notes that take on mineral-tinged tannins on the long finish. Drink now through 2028. 1,250 cases made. ~ (93) Tim Fish, Wine Spectator 11-15-2020
