Tasting notes
Deep red. Fresh cherry and raspberry aromas are complicated by suggestions of candied flowers, baking spices and incense. Palate-coating red fruit flavors show very good depth and clarity and an exotic spice flourish on the back half. Supple and seamless in texture, with a spice-driven, very long, gently tannic finish that echoes the cherry note.

Medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Cumberland Reserve opens with scents of warm blackberries and cranberries, blood orange peel, scorched earth, tar, tea leaves and bright red berries with a spicy undercurrent. It’s light to medium-bodied with a great interplay of bright fruits and amaro-like accents, a grainy frame and great freshness with a long, citrusy finish. Josh Bergstrom grabbed 2017 by the horns and made some lovely wines that illuminate the unique character of this vintage.
