The 2022 Bergström Le Pré du Col Vineyard Pinot Noir is a beautifully detailed single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the Ribbon Ridge AVA in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Sourced from the Le Pré du Col Vineyard, this vintage reflects the cool-climate conditions and marine sedimentary soils of Ribbon Ridge, offering expressive aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry and cranberry, complemented by rose petals, baking spice, forest floor and subtle earthy minerality. The wine captures both the purity of the fruit and the distinctive personality of this exceptional vineyard site.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky, finely woven tannins, vibrant natural acidity and an elegant, seamless texture. Layers of fresh red berries, black cherry and plum are balanced by savoury herbs, delicate oak spice and mineral notes, leading to a long, refined finish with impressive freshness and precision. The wine is poised and structured, with excellent balance that will reward careful cellaring.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers seeking a premium single-vineyard Oregon Pinot Noir that showcases elegance, complexity and regional character. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, herb-roasted chicken, mushroom risotto or roast pork with herbs. While approachable with a short decant today, the 2022 Bergström Le Pré du Col Vineyard Pinot Noir will continue to develop greater depth and savoury complexity over the next 10–15 years.
