The 2022 Bergström La Spirale Vineyard Pinot Noir is a distinctive single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the Ribbon Ridge AVA in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Sourced from the La Spirale Vineyard, this vintage highlights the character of Ribbon Ridge's marine sedimentary soils, offering lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry alongside floral notes, forest floor, subtle spice and delicate mineral nuances. The cool-climate growing conditions contribute freshness, purity and excellent balance throughout the wine.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright natural acidity and a refined, elegant texture. Layers of red berry fruit, black cherry and cranberry are complemented by hints of dried herbs, gentle oak spice and earthy complexity, leading to a long, focused finish with impressive precision. The combination of vibrant fruit and savoury detail makes this a beautifully structured expression of vineyard-driven Oregon Pinot Noir.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers looking to explore a site-specific Willamette Valley Pinot Noir with finesse and ageing potential. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, herb-crusted pork, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto or roast quail. Enjoy now after a short decant or cellar for the next 10–15 years, allowing the wine to develop additional complexity and layered savoury character.
