The 2014 Bergstrom Pinot Noir Le Pre du Col is an exquisite red wine that embodies the elegance and complexity of Oregon's Willamette Valley. With its deep, ruby-red color and enticing aromas, this wine is a true delight for the senses.

On the nose, the wine offers a bouquet of sweet red and black fruit, rich soil, and a hint of beetroot. These aromas create an inviting prelude to the palate, which showcases a juicy and savory wine. While it may have less power and amplitude compared to the Gregory Ranch, it still holds material in reserve, promising depth and complexity in every sip.

The palate reveals flavors of dark fruit, accompanied by nuances of stones, tar, and bark. These flavors are supported by firm and chewy tannins, adding a delightful textural element to the wine. There is also a tangy undertone that adds tension and balance to the overall profile. With its form and tension, this wine shows great potential for aging and is expected to reach its peak in 2019.

This Pinot Noir truly captures the essence of the Le Pre du Col Vineyard, with its pretty rose hip tea and garrigue notes. Underlying cranberry, Bing cherry, and bay leaves create a harmonious blend of flavors. The wine's freshness and minerality further enhance its appeal, making it a standout choice for wine enthusiasts.

With only 500 cases made, this wine is a rare gem that deserves a place in any wine connoisseur's collection. Whether enjoyed now or aged for a few more years, the 2014 Bergstrom Pinot Noir Le Pre du Col promises to deliver a memorable and exceptional tasting experience.
