Bergström 2009 Bergström Vineyard Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Cellar Selection
- $81
Sourced entirely from the biodynamic estate vineyard, this extraordinary wine delivers compact, complex, detailed aromas and flavors in perfect proportion. The blueberry and cherry fruit is wreathed in dried herbs and flowers. Fourteen months in French oak, roughly half new, adds a thread of vanilla bean. Loads of dried extract, polished tannins and moist earth…

Bergström 2009 Sigrid Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $80
An astonishing wine, creamy and loaded with lush fruit flavors. The tropical fruits are just the beginning; layer upon layer of marshmallow, whipped cream, brioche, butterscotch, buttered nuts, toast and more keep piling on. With all that richness, it remains a billowy, pillowy Chardonnay, light as a feather, yet deep and dreamy.

Bergström 2000 Arcus Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $50
This sweet, extracted, creamy wine oozes lushness, ripeness and richness. The power is intense, the flavors dark plum, blackberry and cola. The tannins are big and plush, making for a huge, round finish. But be warned, one reviewer found it overly dry.

Bergström 2009 de Lancellotti Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- Cellar Selection
- $63
A concentrated core of pure, sweet raspberry and cherry fruit is showcased in a wine of remarkable penetration and length. The fruit, from a biodynamic estate vineyard, is perfumed and open, making this immediately accessible and supremely enjoyable. And yet cellaring will surely reward those with the patience and discipline to lay it down for up to a decade.

Bergström 2001 Arcus Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $50
From a renowned vineyard, an amazingly rich and complete wine that satisfies on every level. Has the forward flavors of raspberries and cherries that satisfy the palate, yet also possesses layers of subtle complexity in the mingling of acids, tannins and smoky oak. As delicious as it is in youth, it’s an ager through the decade.

Bergström 2009 Cumberland Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
At first stark and steely, this is the earthiest of Bergström’s 2009 Pinots, with a streak of beetroot, tightly wound and substantial red fruits, and an earthy base behind well-delineated tannins. Give it time to breathe, and some lovely cinnamon highlights emerge.

Bergström 2001 Cumberland Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $30
Takes the regular bottling to new heights, as if everything were on steroids. Massive in the fruity, berry flavors that explode in the mouth, and yet the wine easily maintains dignity and balance. A bit of spritz suggests a secondary fermentation that is not unpleasant.

Bergström 2000 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $35
Can a wine be light and serious too? This one is both. By light, I mean it’s not real concentrated, fruit-wise. It’s an earth-driven wine, with tomato and beet flavors, and it’s pretty tannic. It’s also light in the way it floats on the tongue. It’s very silky. But it’s a serious wine because it makes you stop and think about it, which is half the fun. It may also…
