Delicious. Complex nose has plenty of ooozing, sappy dark cherry fruit, a decent amount of toasty, clove-like French oak, spice, warm moist loam. The palate is more minerally, with lots of crushed rock and salinity. Bone dry, but with mouth-clinging dark cherry extract. As slight bitter note at the tail end of the finish, which is long. The acids are there but soft, and there’s some very soft tannin, so this will certainly age at least a few years. UPDATE: On night 2, the oak is much better integrated and the wine is more settled and complex. Upping from 9.2 to 9.3.

Friday evening I opened the 2018 Bergström Cumberland Reserve Pinot Noir. Comes from the Willamette Valley Newberg, Oregon. The 20th Vintage from Bergström and #37 on Wine Spectators Top 100 List. On the nose the is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, barnyard funk, cola, hibiscus, roses and earth. On the palate is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, spice, vanilla, cola, red currant, roses and earth. This wine is medium bodied with a fresh firm mouthfeel a beautiful expression of a Willamette Valley pinot noir, has medium + acidity and medium + fine polished tannins. Love this wine. Please stay safe and healthy during the week ahead. Nostrovia!

First glass had an aggressive jammy, robust taste but smooth finish. Giving the bottle a chance to breathe the flavors mellowed out and blended smoothly

Cherry and dark fruit notes. Raspberries. Cola. All spice. Lacks secondary flavors of interest. An ok drinking wine. Why would this be a reserve? I am disappointed.

2018 vintage. Beef, barnyard lite, rhubarb and room-temp bread dipped in olive oil in the nose. Light-bodied. Rhubarb and mushroom in the flavor profile along with raspberry, strawberry and blackberry. Drinking really nicely currently but wondering where it will wander in the next year? Will have to get another bottle to find out. First bottle from this esteemed producer and it won’t be my last.
