RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

... reveal black plum, cranberry and crushed strawberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a certain strictness and linearity on the entry. This is nicely poised and focused with well-judged acidity...

91Wine Spectator

Polished and supple, this is gently etched with refined tannins around a glowing core of raspberry and peppery floral flavors, persisting expressively on the finish.

91Vinous / IWC

High-pitched aromas of fresh red berries, lavender and Asian spices... Nervy and penetrating on the palate, offering zesty redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors that gain sweetness with air....

PRODUCER

Bergstrom Winery

Bergstrom Wines is located in Oregon’s famous Willamette Valley, the heart of Oregon’s Pinot Noir country. Though the winery is young, having produced its first vintage only in 1999, it is already winning accolades from critics and connoisseurs. Owned by John and Karen Bergstrom, the estate includes a total of 37 acres planted to Pinot Noir and 5 acres planted to Chardonnay. Prior to creating the winery’s first vintage, son Josh Bergstrom spent time in Burgundy learning winemaking and vineyard practices. The winery is organic and prides itself on artisanal winemaking.

It has 1,200 vineyard acres and was awarded AVA status in 2004. The region grows Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Dolcetto, Muscat, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
