The 2023 Bergström Cumberland Reserve Pinot Noir is a refined cool-climate Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley, produced from a selection of the finest estate-grown fruit across Bergström's renowned vineyards. The 2023 vintage offers expressive aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry and black plum, layered with delicate violet, baking spice, forest floor and subtle earthy notes. Crafted in a balanced, elegant style, it reflects both the purity of the fruit and the distinctive character of the region.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright natural acidity and a smooth, finely textured mouthfeel. Vibrant flavours of cherry, cranberry and dark berry fruit are complemented by hints of savoury herbs, gentle oak spice and mineral nuances, leading to a long, fresh and harmonious finish. The wine combines precision and depth while remaining approachable in its youth.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers seeking a premium Willamette Valley Pinot Noir with finesse, complexity and versatility at the table. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, herb-roasted chicken, mushroom risotto or pork loin. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar for the next 8–12 years as it develops additional savoury complexity and elegance.
