Pretty aromas of dark cherries and oak are discerned in the nose of the 2004 Pinot Noir. A seamless black cherry, blackberry, and brambleberry-flavored effort, this juicy wine is medium to full-bodied, expressive, and spicy. Armed with excellent depth of fruit, it is a candidate for drinking over the next 4-5 years. www.bergstromwines.com; tel. (503) 554-0468

Espresso beans, brambleberries, and blackberries are found in the nose of the chunky 2004 Pinot Noir Bergstrom Vineyard. This medium to full-bodied wine is Josh Bergstrom’s 2004 that most resembles the style this winery was known for in past years. Big, brooding, and thick, it offers shoe polish, coal, blackberry, tar, and sassafras flavors in a firm, tannic style. Concentrated and extracted, it yearns for a fatty grilled T-bone. Projected maturity: 2008-2013. www.bergstromwines.com; tel. (503) 554-0468
