This opens with a lovely inner sweetness and textures of pure silk as a wave of ripe fruit flows across a stream of brisk acidity. It takes on a crunchy sensation through the finish, leaving a subtle coating of edgy tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep garnet in color. On the nose, red roses fall behind bright fresh strawberries, Genmaicha tea, and green peppercorns. Medium-bodied and balanced with new oak spice, the purity of fruit expression carries onto the palate, where it finds its balance with acidity and tannin and bursts with pomegranates and red currants. There is a tension that will evolve beautifully as this wine ages in the bottle. Drink mid-2025-2036.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Spirale means the vortex; a symbol of life, creation, and the natural formative forces that guide our hands in our agricultural and winemaking pursuits at Bergström Wines. It is also the name of our newest estate vineyard on the Ribbon Ridge AVA, just a stone’s throw from our Le Pré du Col Vineyard and within eyesight of the winery on the Chehalem Mountains AVA. This complex and beautifully positioned Southwest facing 22-acre rolling slope includes more than 14 different marine sedimentary soil expressions.
