The Cumberland Reserve cuvee is the only blend that Bergstrom produces. The 2007 Cumberland Reserve was sourced from 15 vineyards and, according to Bergstrom, is “my style, my take on the vintage.” Medium ruby-colored, it reveals a perfume of toasty black fruits, earth notes, and spice box. Elegant and restrained on the palate, mineral, floral, and cinnamon notes emerge leading to a silky, fruit-filled finish. Drink this friendly effort over the next 8 years. If you want an unvarnished opinion about the state of affairs in Willamette Valley, Josh Bergstrom is someone who will tell it straight. His 2007s are uniformly successful as well as reflective of what the vintage provided.
