The Bergstrom family is excited to release the first wines from the incredible 2008 vintage!

The critics have been talking about.....NO, heralding, the 2008 vintage since the grapes started arriving at wineries in the Northern Willamette Valley nearly 16 months ago. But should you trust the critics? Haven't they been wrong before? In the case of the 2008 vintage wines from Oregon, yes you should trust the hype. These will be some of the greatest wines crafted, across-the-board, in Oregon since the 2002 vintage and they will be snatched up quickly from eager buyers and aficionados from around the globe who have been waiting for this day.

This is the first vintage from Oregon where the worldwide demand for Oregon product will exceed the production of the state since the 2002 vintage, and it is time to act before these stellar wines are gone!

In 2008, the year was following the path of another "cool vintage" in Oregon. The fall came and it looked to be another challenging year in Oregon. Sugars were low and acids were high and the rain was forecasted, when all of a sudden the weather changed for the better and we enjoyed one of the best, and latest, harvest windows for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in several years.

The resulting wines are wines of power and elegance- wines of finesse and concentration- wines that will drink well young and age. Heck, I might as well come out and say it...these may be the best wines we have ever crafted

These wines will age for a long time in your cellar and will provide drinking pleasure for up to 15-20 years in some cases!

Enjoy.
