"The Bergström family are of Swedish heritage and lived in Portland from the 1970s-1990s. In 1999, Josh Bergström returned to Oregon after a postgraduate program in viticulture and enology in Burgundy and founded the Bergström label with his father, John Bergström, a Portland-based physician. In 2001, Kendall Bergström and her husband Paul de Lancellotti joined the business, a new winery was constructed at the top of Calkins Lane in the Chehalem Mountains , and the de Lancellotti Estate Vineyard was planted. The Bergström winery now farms five estate vineyards (Bergström, de Lancellotti, Gregory Ranch, Winery Block and Pre du Col), totaling 85 acres. Biodynamic farming dates to 2000. Pinot Noir is also sourced from Shea Vineyard and Temperance Hill Vineyard. 80% of production is estate grown.
Production is 10,000 cases annually of Pinot Noir (nine different bottlings in 2006), and Chardonnay (two bottlings). The Pinot Noirs are generous wines rich in oak, flavor and concentration.
The tasting room at 18215 NE Calkins Lane in Newberg is open daily from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Tours and wine and food pairing is offered by appointment (503-554-0468). The Bergström wines are available on the website and through retail channels." -Prince of Pinot
Beautiful nose of strawberries, cherries, forest floor, warm spices and dried roses. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and bright acidity. Well-balanced and crafty, with a precise core of succulent cherries mingling with the spices throughout. Lively and refined with a flavorful finish. Drink or hold.
