  Definitely some secondary development in the color, mid-palate and finish. Not overly complex but tasty and very drinkable with our dinner of root vegetable soup and stinky cheese. That said, I think it’s unlikely to improve with age: drink up.

  Drank this last night. Star of the evening. Smoky, earthy, licorice, spice, and ripe fruits shine. Gorgeous. Deep in a way that works on a historically hot summer day.

  Upon pop and pour, this pinot featured a primary cranberry note, red cherries and underlying herbs with some astringency on the finish. On day 2, this gained some weight and had a dark cherry and spice profile. Overall, a bit simple but in a good place to enjoy now.

  This from a guy who has liked Bergstrom in the past (see bottles in my cellar if you like), likes pinot in the 5-7 year window, and has a decent cooling system. I also got off JB's club a year or two ago for expensive wines that don't improve, so now you know my bias. I was hoping for better here and it didn't happen. Decanted for an hour for Turkey Day, the nose is open with dark cherry, earth, and smoke. There's modest depth of fruit and some savory hints, nothing off and an overall lack of the "wow" factor. Acidity wins on the finish. If I don't gift the other bottle, I might decant longer as an experiment.

  Brilliant medium ruby color introduce a pleasant strawberry, cherry and damp forest floor aroma. Flavors of dark cherry and raw cranberry attack the palate and linger on a tart long finish with dusty tannins. This wine is maybe a little unbalanced on the tart side, but is very enjoyable. Acidity and tannin will hold this wine to at least 2020.
