The nose reveals ripe red strawberries, marionberries, and blueberry jam, with hints of spruce, dark chocolate truffle, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine delivers bright red fruits like cranberry, raspberry, and cosmic crisp apples. The wine's balanced structure and delightful succulence harmonized with lasting acidity and remarkable salinity derived from the sandy soils at many of the source vineyards. Light oak spice nuances, such as vanilla seeds, toasted coffee, and hints of pine and maple, add further depth.
Bergstrom Description
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.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Bright and seductive, this pinot offers fresh cherries, crushed wild berries, violets, wet rocks and subtle spices on the nose. Racy and mouthwatering, with spicy and minerally tension, it has a medium body, a dusty texture to its tannins and a lingering and racy finish. Focused and very precise. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Generous yet silky in texture and refined, with lilting raspberry and guava flavors that are accented by fresh violet, orange peel and dusky spice notes as this gathers richness on the lively finish.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2023 Pinot Noir Cumberland Reserve is incredibly fresh, with a bouquet of dusty dried flowers, lavender pastille, nuances of cedary spice and wild blueberries. Ripe wild berry fruits and crisp mineral tones glide across the palate over a layer of pure silk. The finish is long and tense, yet remains remarkably fresh as violet tones resonate over a bed of silken tannins. The Cumberland Reserve represents amazing value. Already enjoyable, it will also excel in the cellar.
