Bergström Wines, a first-generation American family business, is one of the most unique and lauded Domaine in the Willamette Valley. Dr. John Bergström’s Swedish heritage and the love he developed for the Pacific Northwest are the roots of this estate. In 1999, John and his son, Josh, established Bergström Wines and today, Josh and Caroline, his wife and business partner, are celebrating more than 25 years as biodynamic growers of estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards on the finest appellations within Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

WINE

The first Ribbon Ridge AVA estate that we were honored to add to our portfolio.

VINEYARDS

This magnificent 16-acre marine sedimentary shallow sandy soil terroir is owned by the Hill family and farmed by Bergstrom Wines in partnership since its inception. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from this amazing site are known for their depth of spice, rare woods, incense and oceanic salinity aromatics and for their rich textural layers of fruited spice and earthy minerality. These are seriously age worthy wines.

Winemaking

100% whole-cluster fermentation in open-top, stainless steel fermentation tanks. Native fermentation where possible. 100% malolactic and alcoholic fermentation (no residual sugars or malic acids.) No fining.

TASTING NOTES

A fresh, vibrant, youthful violet, ruby red cherry color. Aromas are bright and of fresh red and dark red fruits, cherry candy, bonbon Anglaise, salted sweet candies, violets, blueberries, and gorgeous salinity. It dances across the palate in an irresistibly jazzy and tangy way. Beautiful and drinkable now, but also lots of darker notes, intrigue, and structure that begs you to age this wine to see how its peacock’s tail will unfold over the next ten
