Bergstrom Cumberland Reserve Pinot Noir 2023
94 Points 2023 "Bright and seductive, this pinot offers fresh cherries, crushed wild berries, violets, wet rocks and subtle spices on the nose. Racy and mouthwatering, with spicy and minerally tension, it has a medium body, a dusty texture to its tannins and a lingering and racy finish. Focused and very precise." — Jim Gordon, 2025
Soil: Varied, featuring marine sedimentary sands, volcanic basalt clays, and alluvial deposits
Age/Exposure: Up to 26 years old; Varied exposures
Eco-Practices: Biodynamic since inception
Whole-cluster fermentation in open-top, stainless steel fermentation tanks. Aged on natural lees in 10-15% new 228L French oak barrels. 100% malolactic and alcoholic fermentation (no residual sugars or malic acids). Unfined.
Named for the road where our family grew up in Portland, Oregon, our Cumberland Reserve represents a blend of some of the finest barrels from our five estate-farmed vineyards, all carefully combined to showcase Oregon Pinot Noir at its best. Our Cumberland Reserve is the epitome of the Bergström style: the expression of a unique vintage’s character combined with the perfect marriage of spice, mineral, and fresh fruit flavors.
