The 2006 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard comes from one the Willamette Valley's most renowned terroirs. Deeper colored than its predecessors, it has a plummy, dark-fruited bouquet, with notes of violets and damp earth. Round and ripe, it offers up spicy black cherry and black raspberry flavors leading to a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Give it two to three years to evolve and drink it from 2011 through 2020. The Bergstrom Winery, under the direction of Josh Bergstrom, has quickly risen to the upper echelon of United States producers of Pinot Noir. Not to be forgotten is the fact that the winery also turns out superb Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. In fact, the 2006 -Sigrid- Reserve Chardonnay (94 points) ranks with the best I have ever tasted from Oregon and is reminiscent of a Domaine Leflaive Premier Cru.www.bergstromwinery.com
