Description
Bergstrom has been dutifully making some of the finest, most age-worthy Oregon Pinots for nearly 20 years. Few producers have established such a reputation for consistency of excellence. Fewer yet have racked up the impressive accolades that Bergstrom has: nearly every wine scores 90+ in all the major publications with many selections fetching eye-opening scores of 95+ points! It comes down to a passion for sustainable agriculture, a focus on the details, and employing state of the art techniques in the cellar which extract the maximum potential from the excellent fruit they work with.
The Bergstrom Vineyard is the original estate vineyard planted in 1999 right out the front door of the Bergstrom personal residence in the heart of the Dundee Hills. Volcanic Jory soil lends bright red-fruited characteristics, intense minerality, and many layers of complex earth aromas to the wine. It also tends to give it bright acidity and a silky smooth texture on the palate. This is a wine of pure finesse and advanced ageability.
