While finishing up tallying our BD14 numbers, thought I’d enjoy some BerserkerDay wine from events past, reward myself with a reminder of why our event is so successful…producers such as this, and those @Marcus_Goodfellow has corralled into the BerserkerDay circle over the years…enjoyed in a Grassl Liberté a la @Chris_Freemott
2018 Goodfellow Family Cellars Pinot Noir Heritage No. 12 Whistling Ridge Vineyard - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge (2/2/2023)
Gorgeous light ruby color on this wine - truly gem-like in clarity and crispness. Nose gives out forest floor, bramble and raspberry, , touch of eucalyuptus. After a couple hours the wine fleshes out with this gorgeous silky texture - truly what stands out most in this beautiful wine. More crunchy red berry and currant on the palate, a stemmy quality (is it whole cluster?), gentle but strong transition to a medium long finish - finishes clean, crisp, nice acidity. Beautiful.
