Our original estate and our family’s North Star located in the iron-rich volcanic soils of the Dundee Hills. The Bergström Vineyard is 13 acres of south and southeast facing vines bathing in the cool northerly sunlight and overlooking the expansive and rich Willamette Valley stretching south for one hundred miles. Optimum elevation and exposure provides ideal ripening potential for our most powerful, yet elegant expression of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, annually adorned with flowers, fruit, savory herbs and spices, and ferrous minerals. 

Josh Bergström's Notes

A true ruby color leads to a very complex aromatic perfume with layers of nuance: wet ferrous rocks, campfire, grilled meats, red and black cherries, currant, sweet baking spices, and oak sweetness with savory garden herbs. Typical of the Bergström Vineyard, the aromas are open and the palate is tight and in need of 3+ years in the cellar to begin to open up, but very powerful when it does.  In the mouth, this wine is very mineral and youthfully closed at first, but opens within a few minutes to showcase a definite sense of place with a sweet core of fruit and copious ripe tannin that frame this strong minerality. This is a wine that is well ready to drink. Could benefit from more cellaring, but why wait?
