Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 92 Points:
“The 2007 Pinot Noir De Lancellotti Vineyard is sourced from a 22-acre biodynamically certified vineyard next door to the Bergstrom winery. Dark ruby-colored, it offers up an alluring perfume of sandalwood, cinnamon, clove, violets, black cherry, and plum. This leads to a dense, ripe, structured, yet succulent Pinot Noir which stretches the limits of size in this vintage. It will benefit from another 2-3 years of bottle age and offer a drinking window extending from 2012 to 2020.”
The almost electric violet-ruby colored wine has excellent aromas of marionberry and wild blackberries with some baking spices like cinnamon, vanilla, clove, nutmeg and incense. The attack is pure and driven, with bright fruit flavors and great lithe texture which is focused and mineral-based. The finish has a long juicy acid structure with fine grained tannins. This wine will be amazing after 2-3 years of ageing and will drink well into 2020+ if cellared carefully. This wine is certified Biodynamic. - Josh Bergstrom
Previous Vintage Tasting Notes
2006 Vintage Tasting Notes
Always a myriad of fruits and spices come to mind when putting this wine to nose and it is often hard to pin down exactly what we are sometimes smelling, the bouquet is so intense. Anise, pepper, incense, and pepper-minty black fruits like dark cherry, cassis and marionberry come to mind again and again. The mouth-feel in a young de Lancellotti wine is poignant and juicy focusing on the great natural acidity this vineyard is blessed with and showcasing the rich dark fruits these sandy soils are known for. As the wine ages, the opulence will begin to shine through offering a hedonistic glimpse at why Willakenzie soils and Pinot Noir can often times be likened to the Cote de Nuits in Burgundy, yet bigger!

2005 Vintage Tasting Notes
From the winery: Produced from a mere 3 tons of fruit off of 8 acres, this scarlet-hued Pinot Noir offers gorgeous focused aromas of black cherries, brambly fruits, caramel and toasty new French oak. Bright sappy fruit flavors enveloped in a balanced acid/tannin structure may make this wine the best cellar candidate of the vintage.
From the winery: "The de Lancellotti Vineyard is now only 6 years old but has begun to act like a giant in the world of great terroirs. The sandy Dupee type soils which sit on a bedrock of sandstone create significant stress on the vines during the growing season which makes for incredibly concentrated fruits which focus more on the black fruit character and spices than on the red fruit characters and floral notes which the thick Dundee clay soils exhibit."
