Josh Bergström's Notes
*notes are from original release in 2016
The 2015 vintage marks 12 years of Bergström Wines working with Shea Vineyard. A dark, red ruby color. The aromas are bright red fruited, primarily rhubarb and strawberry with a sweet toasted oak, brown sugar, and hints of baking spices. Vibrant and juicy with great texture, this wine showcases the ripe vintage but maintains freshness with lush cherry flavor. Drink now through 2025+. Alcohol: 13.7%
