Bergström Vineyard: A Bergström Wines Estate
Planted 1999 * Dundee Hills AVA * Elevation: 380ft
Our original estate and our family’s North Star located in the iron-rich volcanic soils of the Dundee Hills. The Bergström Vineyard is 13 acres of south and southeast facing vines bathing in the cool northerly sunlight and overlooking the expansive and rich Willamette Valley stretching south for one hundred miles. Optimum elevation and exposure provides ideal ripening potential for our most powerful, yet elegant expression of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, annually adorned with flowers, fruit, savory herbs and spices, and ferrous minerals.

Winemaker Notes
*updated January 2025
The aromas are strikingly vibrant, with roses, wisteria, boysenberry, and fruit leather, complemented by hints of dried thyme and rosemary. The palate is complex, showcasing the elegant, suave tannins typical of the Dundee Hills. Layers of ferrous, saline minerality, red meat, and lavender are balanced by a lively acidity. The tannins, still powerful yet evolved, are food-friendly, making this wine a versatile choice for pairing. Drink now or cellar for further development. Delicious.
