Cumberland Reserve Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley
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.
Estate-sourced from Bergström, La Spirale, Silice, & Le Pré du Col Vineyards in Dundee Hills, Ribbon Ridge, and Chehalem Mountains AVAs. Pinot Noir represents about 80% of the total Bergström estate acreage. 16-23 year old vines. Marine sedimentary sandy soils and volcanic basalt clays.

A lovely, electric, dark ruby color. An aromatic potpourri loaded with bright and fresh raspberry, red currant, pomegranate and red cherry fruits. In concert with the fruit aromas, grilled meats, toasty oak, incense, sweet French tarragon and a floral bouquet. Silky and vibrant on the palate, with youthful energy and depth that echoes the red fruits of the aromatic profile, especially the ripe raspberry flavors.

"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."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Cumberland Reserve is incredibly fresh, with a bouquet of dusty dried flowers, lavender pastille, nuances of cedary spice and wild blueberries. Ripe wild berry fruits and crisp mineral tones glide across the palate over a layer of pure silk. The finish is long and tense, yet remains remarkably fresh as violet tones resonate over a bed of silken tannins. The Cumberland Reserve represents amazing value. Already enjoyable, it will also excel in the cellar."
