La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 94 points
May 4, 2024 - Wine Spectator Grand Tour (Las Vegas, NV): Beautiful in its restraint and elegance, Bergström's 2021 Pinot Noir, sourced from its original estate (Bergström) vineyard, is a medium garnet, intensely aromatic offering. Jumping from the glass is blood orange, a floral citrus that sets the stage for honeycrisp apples, raspberries, clove, cocoa and black tea. Medium in body, it is a freshly acidic Pinot with unnoticeable alcohol (12.7%) and light sweet tannins. Stainless steel-fermented and aged for 11 months in French oak (15% new) barriques, Bergstrom has captured just the right amount of wood to complement but not overwhelm the delicate flavors, which never lose their focus throughout the dense mid-palate and long finish. Those who favor the ripe, New World style of many Pinot offerings from California may not fully appreciate this Burgundian-styled effort from Oregon, but there are plenty of others who will! Drink now-2031.

April 26, 2024 - Very youthful, strawberry-rich nose. Smooth, dry palate. Firm, lower intensity tannins on the medium long finish. My score is mostly a placeholder. This is not yet in its true drinking window IMHO.

December 9, 2023 - Clearly I am in the minority here. I found this to be thin, one note and not at all interesting. Not sure why this is considered Pinot royalty. From Oregon I prefer Antica Terra and Thomas. Thinking of California, this does not compare with Aubert, Kosta Browne or Rivers Marie. I bought the hype, will wait another 4-5 years before checking in on our remaining bottles.

July 3, 2023 - Return to Willamette; 7/2/2023-7/8/2023 (Portland & Willamette): From the vines on the property itself. This is now about 13 acres in the Dundee Hills. Volcanic soils with a lot of iron that are now almost more clay-like. More depth and there’s quite a bit of interesting. This feels like the style that wants a bit more age to really show what it will be. Very bright and there was almost a hint of effervescent to keep that light style. Drinks nicely.
