2017 Homage Pinot Noir 3L
Homage Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley AVA
Our Homage Pinot Noir is an assemblage of our finest wine barrels from each vintage, beginning in 2008. The Homage label is our heartfelt tribute to all of the friends and mentors, grape farmers and winemakers--both living and departed-- who have helped Bergstrom Wines become what it is today. A portion of the proceeds from our Homage label are donated to ¡Salud!, a collaboration between Oregon winemakers and the Tuality Healthcare Foundation, working to provide access to healthcare services for Oregon vineyard workers and their families.
Winemaker Notes
Updated in 2019
The 2017 Homage Pinot Noir is a bright, youthful, and black cherry shade of red and although one could say that its explosive, knockout aromatic bouquet is very Burgundian, better yet, it is purely Oregonian with fresh dark fruits, savory herbs, a reductive meaty earthy note, and sweet baking spices that unfold and develop by the minute. This wine is lovely now with richness, a sweet, lush, and fruity mid-palate, and a long silky, spicy finish. You could drink this wine now, but I challenge most of us to try to resist its beauty for the next 5 years and then drink it from 2024-2030+. For collectors of Homage, I would liken this vintage to the 2008, 2011, and 2013, which are some of the greatest of all time under this label.
