Pinot Noir "Cumberland Reserve" Bergstrom, Willamette Valley, OR, 2022

The 2022 Bergstrom Cumberland Reserve Pinot Noir is a stunning example of the earthy and juicy pinot noirs of Willamette Valley. The Cumberland Reserve is the culmination of the crème de la crème of the five estate farmed vineyards and the epitome of the Bergstrom commitment to the terroir’s mineral rich soil. On the nose, the wine offers a captivating bouquet of red berries, such as raspberry and bing cherry, accompanied by subtle black tea notes and hints of dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, with silky tannins and an acidity that is laser focused. Sweet and savory flavors of red fruit, forest floor, and a touch of earthiness dance across the tongue. The wine is delicate enough to pair with a grilled salmon but its richness can be savored along with a roast duck.
