Le Pré du Col Vineyard: A Bergström Wines Estate
Planted 2006 * Ribbon Ridge AVA * Elevation: 400ft
The first Ribbon Ridge AVA estate that we were honored to add to our portfolio. This magnificent 16-acre marine-sedimentary shallow sandy soil terroir is owned by the Hill family and farmed by Bergström Wines in partnership since its inception. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from this amazing site are known for their depth of spice, rare woods, incense and oceanic salinity aromatics and for their rich textural layers of fruited spice and earthy minerality. These are seriously age-worthy wines. Learn more about the Le Pré du Col Vineyard
Josh Bergström's Notes
*updated January 2025
True to its site, this wine offers captivating aromas of sweet moss, chanterelles, mushrooms, blackberries, and ripe loganberries. The softened palate reveals warming holiday spices intertwined with cane fruits, while the sedimentary soils of the vineyard contribute to its structured tannins. Still vibrant, with emerging hints of dried fruits, the salinity harmonizes beautifully with a cinnamon and clove spice finish. A delightful pairing for rich beef stew or Bolognese served over fresh pappardelle.
