Always the first release of the year for Bergström. Yamhill-Carlton is not my favorite sub-ava. I’m a Dundee Hills and Eola-Hills kinda guy. Just how it is...this wine is a stunner. After how much hype Oregon has seen for our 14’s and 15’s, it’s hard to tell people “wait till you see the 16’s” but it’s true. 2016 has all the fruit of 15 with the acid to finish. Incredible vintage, tasting through the auction lots last weekend has me really excited on how these wines will age.
