Introduction

Named for the road where our family grew up in Portland, Oregon, our Cumberland Reserve represents a blend of some of the finest barrels from our five estate-farmed vineyards, all carefully combined to showcase Oregon Pinot Noir at its best. Our Cumberland Reserve is the epitome of the Bergström style-the expression of a unique vintage’s character combined with the perfect marriage of spice, mineral, and fresh fruit flavors.

Vineyard Profile

Estate-sourced from Bergström, La Spirale, Silice, & Le Pré du Col Vineyards in Dundee Hills, Ribbon Ridge, and Chehalem Mountains AVAs. Pinot Noir represents about 80% of the total Bergström estate acreage

Josh Bergström’s Notes

A lovely, electric, dark ruby color. An aromatic potpourri loaded with bright and fresh raspberry, red currant, pomegranate and red cherry fruits. In concert with the fruit aromas, grilled meats, toasty oak, incense, sweet French tarragon and a floral bouquet. Silky and vibrant on the palate, with youthful energy and depth that echoes the red fruits of the aromatic profile, especially the ripe raspberry flavors. Super fun to drink now and will be very versatile with numerous food pairings. A shining star of the vintage.
