Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir The Bergström Vineyard is dark and brooding, enticing with a meaty blend of savory black cherry and cedar shavings complicated by flowery underbrush and a lifting hint of camphor. This is texturally thrilling, with ripe wild berry fruit depths guided by brisk acidity, taking on a saline edge and hints of licorice toward the close. It's potent and long with gritty tannins. A concentration of tart blackberry and spice pinch at the cheeks, yet the mouth is left watering for more as a salty flourish carries on.

Planted in 1999. Pale ruby in colour. The quietest nose of the Pinot Noirs – still red-fruited and orangey but with a volcanic rockiness – crushed gravel and petrichor. While the entire portfolio has a litheness and elegance, this is the densest on the palate with persistent silty tannin, iron, rust and a touch of coffee. Powerful – in need of a few more years in bottle. (SCJ)
