Bergström - Review - Dundee - Willamette Valley - The Infatuation

"Part of Oregon wine country’s whole objective is its commitment to biodynamic farming, and that’s on display vividly at Bergström, where you’ll have a glass-in-hand lap around the garden and grapevines before sitting down in their sun-stained cottage-turned-tasting-room. Much like the rest of the lot, their house specialty is pinot noir, and they nail it—specifically in the case of the 2023 La Spirale that’s bursting with more thyme and mint than a farmstand. But we also love that the staff is always prepared to launch into a lesson about all the Willamette AVAs and their little quirks. (Yes, that’s what the huge easel’s for.) Just don’t ignore their riesling: floral and fresh, it conspires well with the roasty-toasty gruyere gougères that just came out of the oven." - Aimee Rizzo
