Gregory Ranch
Planted 2007 * Yamhill-Carlton AVA * Elevation: 460ft
The Gregory Ranch is a 21-acre vineyard planted on a 100+ acre property in the forested foothills of the coast range in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. The vineyard is surrounded by old growth Douglast Fir, pine, and large sprawling oak trees. Wild elk and black bear roam the woods, and the forest floor is laced with truffles and mushrooms of all type. Always one of our most robustly earthy and tannic Pinot Noirs.
Josh Bergström's Notes
With an attractive black cherry robe, the Gregory Ranch 2018 opens with a ripe and attractive aromatic bouquet of cherries, blackberries, exotic spices, incense, and dark chocolate. Flavors of ripe strawberry, blackberry pie, and black cherries echo on the palate with a great spice. This wine is immensely structured and not unlike a young Barolo, needing years of patience but promising rewards with this site’s trademark depth and complexity. Gregory Ranch has become known over the past decade as a real age-worthy and singular Pinot Noir from the famed Yamhill Carlton AVA. I can’t wait to try this wine in 20 years. Drink 2026-2036+. Alcohol: 13.4%.
