"(Bergström Wines Pinot Noir La Spirale Oregon Red) The 2021 Pinot Noir La Spirale is perfumed to the max, with an array of violets and roses evolving into delicate black cherry in an air of chalk dust and sweet smoke. Lifted and refined with cooling acidity, the 2021 doesn't miss a beat, coming across both finessed yet also sapid with slowly saturating masses of ripe dark red fruits. This cakes the palate with primary concentration and minerals, lingering impossibly long and structured yet perfectly fresh. There's tremendous cellar potential here. (Drink between 2025-2033)"

"Floral and silky yet multilayered, with raspberry, rose petal, forest floor and black tea tones that gather richness and tension toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2032. 1,150 cases made."

"(Bergström, La Spirale Vineyard Pinot Noir, Pinot Noir / Pinot Nero, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge, Oregon, USA, Red) The newest estate site for Bergström, La Spirale, planted in 1997, the site features a melange of 14 different marine sedimentary soil types. A feral aromatic profile honing in on notes of turned earth, ripe blueberries and a herbal touch of bay leaf. The palate is lively and lush, focused on red and black fruits, savoury anise and mint, and a touch of turned earthen minerality leads to a peppery spice-laden finish. (Drink between 2023-2031)"
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 92Points
"The 2021 Pinot Noir La Spirale is scented of raspberries, blackberries, lavender and dried herbs with botanical nuances. The light-bodied palate is delicate, chalky and fresh with spicy fruit and a long, floral finish."
