The 2021 Bergstrom Bergstrom Vineyard Pinot Noir Magnum (1500ml) is a powerful yet elegant expression of Pinot Noir from the Dundee Hills in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Grown on the estate’s iron-rich volcanic soils, it shows raspberry, black cherry and darker berry fruit alongside violet, cedar, savoury herbs, orange zest and distinctive mineral notes.
On the palate, it is concentrated and finely structured, with vibrant acidity carrying layers of raspberry and dark cherry through firm, integrated tannins. Savoury spice, smoky tea, herbs and ferrous mineral notes provide complexity, while 12 months of French oak maturation contributes further texture and structure. The finish is long, fresh and persistent, balancing impressive depth with precision.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this 1500ml magnum is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir drinkers looking for a serious and cellar-worthy expression of Oregon’s Dundee Hills. Its concentrated fruit, vibrant acidity and structured tannins provide excellent potential for further bottle development. Ideal with roast duck, lamb, mushroom dishes, roast chicken, pork or aged cheeses.
