It's one of the best vyds in the region and always proven when it's aged... zippy and bloody, raspberry, black tea and mandarin rind. Foxy and fresh, no brett, and the mild oxidation plays well with the very upright nature of this site — 8 years ago

I was still making wine on a commercial level in 2005, it was a warm year for Washington State, leading me to believe it was warm in Oregon, too. The 2005 Bergstrom Nysa Vineyard offers up a nose of ripe red fruit, rose hips, burnt brown sugar, and raspberry leaf. Garnet-hued with a translucent edge, it leads with a spicy note, and presents high-toned acidity—cranberry compote, pie cherries. At this stage, its still bright and taught with low levels of tannin and a finish that ends in white pepper. — 10 years ago

Spice, cedar, and fresh dark cherries on the nose. Ripe cherries, pomegranates, and cranberries greet the palate, with grapefruit pith and tart blueberries on the mid-palate and finishing with a medium, spicy finish. Nice structure and great with lamb! #dinner — 10 years ago

This is much, much better now than my first two bottles. Really took quite a leap forward. Weird bottle stank for about 30 seconds (like a garbage can), maybe some reduction from the screwcap? Then it gives way to fruit and stony earth, and it's almost Corton-like. It has that much in common with my note from a few years ago but it feels much weightier and more substantial, bigger in scale yet with the fruit sweetness dialed back into more classic territory and all that intense stoniness making up the difference. According to the Schildknecht review this was "a four-barrel selection from relatively old vines in Nysa Vineyard." — 9 years ago
