Cristom Mt. Jefferson Cuvée Pinot Noir 2021
Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, United States"Mt. Jeff" is said to be a classic representative of Cristom's style, with the majority of fruit off the volcanic soils of their Eola-Amity Hills estate, the remainder from partner growers from the AVA. This vintage utilizes 46% whole cluster, which pokes up with alluring herbal raspberry edges across a finely textural cherry, floral plum base. Tannins are long and tightly etched, sculpting this medium wine through a lingering saline finish. Graceful, elegant, and present, this is a very classy wine showing the highlights of E-A Hills.Tasted: 11 November 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:CDN | $67.00 | 750ml | estimated price |
