The 2019 Bergström Silice Vineyard Pinot Noir Magnum (1500ml) is a distinguished single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the Chehalem Mountains AVA in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Sourced from the acclaimed Silice Vineyard, this vintage highlights the site's volcanic soils and cool-climate conditions, offering expressive aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry and blackberry layered with rose petals, forest floor, baking spice and subtle mineral notes. Presented in magnum format, the larger bottle encourages slower maturation, making it particularly well suited for extended cellaring.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright natural acidity and a refined, seamless texture. Flavours of red berries, black cherry and cranberry are complemented by hints of earthy spice, dried herbs and fine oak, leading to a long, elegant finish with impressive balance and purity. The wine combines concentration with freshness, reflecting both the vineyard's unique terroir and the character of the outstanding 2019 vintage.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this magnum is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir enthusiasts and collectors looking for a cellar-worthy wine with exceptional ageing potential. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, herb-crusted lamb, wild mushroom risotto or grilled salmon. Enjoy now after decanting or cellar through the next 12–18 years, with the magnum format allowing the wine to evolve gradually and develop greater complexity over time.
