Another Great Vintage from Bergström

I got this today in an email from Caroline, such good news for them! They always come through with spectacular wines. They are a real gift to the Oregon Wine industry.

Another Great Vintage from Bergström
as Reviewed by Wine Spectator!
We are delighted to share with you our latest scores from the Wine Spectator.
As we anticipated our estate vineyards have been recognized as the crown jewels of our portfolio. de Lancellotti Vineyard has been recognized by Harvey Steiman in the “HOT WINES” section of the Wine Spectator insider.
(94) Bergström Pinot Noir Chehalem Mountains de Lancellotti Vineyard 2008 ($60)
Firm in texture and light on its feet, this has red cherry, raspberry and tangy lime flavors that pick up a distinct mineral note as the finish expands and rolls on and on. This has all the pieces to develop into something special. Best from 2012 through 2018.    H.S.
(93) Bergström Pinot Noir Dundee Hills Bergström Vineyard 2008 ($78)
Firm in texture and tightly packed with red cherry, raspberry, caramel and sassafras aromas and flavors, extraordinarily well-structured despite its light weight and harmoniously hinting at wet stone flavors as the expressive finish persists. Needs time. Best from 2012 through 2018.    H.S.

(92) Bergström Pinot Noir Ribbon Ridge Le Pre du Col Vineyard 2008 ($55) Sold out
Supple, graceful and generous with its blueberry, currant and mineral flavors on a lithe, refined frame, persisting impressively on the long, harmonious finish. Drink now through 2018.    H.S.

(91) Bergström Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills Temperance Hill Vineyard 2008 ($55) Sold out       
Light and spicy, glowing with blueberry and cherry fruit, shaded with hints of mineral and clove as the finish lingers easily. This has grace and intensity. Drink now through 2018.   H.S.

These wines are extremely limited so please contact us if you would to purchase the 2008 de Lancellotti Vineyard Pinot Noir or 2008 Bergström Vineyard Pinot Noir.
