Bergstrom Sigrid Chardonnay 09

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 94 points

Wine Spectator 92 points

Packed with fruit power, a stony minerality and long, custardy finish, Sigrid Chardonnay 09 walks the walk (not just talks the talk). That is, in the world of premium Chardonnay, Sigrid carves out its own niche that is neither California, nor Burgundy, but Oregon. - Marcus

Wine Spectator - "Polished, round and refined, with a pretty honey note weaving through the pear and cream flavors, nicely balanced by lemony acidity on the elegant finish. Drink now through 2014." - H.S.

Classically structured like our 2008 Sigrid but with more ample proportions that will allow for accessibility in the short-term and a promising future for those precious bottles that are cellared carefully.....

Aromas of honeysuckle, brioche, lime blossom, fresh-cream and pear with a kiss of almond entice the palate as the wine is swirled in the glass. The attack is generous and strikes a balance between full-bodied /ripe and classically structured chardonnay and lithe floral expression framed with juicy, mouth-watering acids, and an intense Oregon minerality.

This is the first vintage that almost 80% of the fruit sourced for this very special wine was estate grown - 68% de Lancellotti and 10% Le Pre du Col. Only 450 six packs of this wine were made. - the winery
