Volcanic "Jory" clays on top of basalt rock. South and southeast exposure at 380 feet.

An explosively gorgeous perfume of red fruit candies, roses, violets, sweet herbs, black and green teas, grilled meats, toasted French oak and sweet spices. On the palate, this wine is pure and silky with a youthful charm of wild strawberries, potpourri, sweet peppers, French tarragon, basil and mint. It is rich, but this great terroir gifts a texture that is effortlessly elegant. Fresh, crunchy fruit flavors and floral aromas abound with an irresistible ferrous iron mineral structure.

From the original 13-acre planting on Dundee's Jory and Nekia soils, the 2024 Pinot Noir Bergstrom Vineyard is the estate's only volcanic bottling. It opens with iron-rich, sanguine minerality, refined dark cherries, orange peel, spice, and remarkable salinity. Medium-bodied, it has beautifully defined tannins, tremendous purity, and mouthwatering length. As it opens, more wild raspberry and ripe cherry fruit emerge. It's stunning and should age effortlessly for decades. Drink 2027-2050.

"Aromas of iron, roses, herbs de provence and crunchy red fruit. An aromatic, seductive, medium-bodied wine with silky, luscious fruit tannins and orange zest flavors. From the original 1999 plantings. Drink or hold."
