Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 98
The 2023 Pinot Noir Silice is layered and seductive, showing black raspberry liqueur, wet stones, toasted spice, cardamom, and black cherries. “Silice” means silica, and this wine comes from forest blocks planted in 2001 on the site with the highest sand content in the soils that they work with. The structure is remarkable, fine, and floating on the palate, with refreshing acidity and an angular, well-defined, gravelly texture to its tannins, which is highly appealing and reminiscent of Nebbiolo in its structure. Drink 2027-2047.

Bergstrom Silice Chehalem Mountain Willamette Pinot Noir Oregon 2023

A strikingly pure and mineral-driven expression, Bergstrom Silice 2023 captures the tension, elegance, and red-fruited finesse of Pinot Noir grown in the sandy, silica-rich soils of Chehalem Mountain.
Aromatic, textured, and terroir-focused, it stands as one of Bergstrom's most distinctive single-vineyard bottlings.
