Organic/Bio Lower ABV A great example of a quality Pinot Noir from the Eola-Amity region when put in the hands of iconic winemaker Steve Doerner, pioneer of whole cluster ferments in Oregon. Cristom Vineyards predominately works with volcanic soils and uses its terroir expression to produce lively yet precise wines. The Mt. Jefferson Cuvee keeps this style rolling by blending 5 different prized vineyard sites across Eola-Amity showcasing how gorgeous pinot noir from Willamette can be.
The wine is well composed starting with the quintessential sour cherry and red currant followed by a wonderful incense spice and flowers. Definitely a medium-bodied pinot that shows elegance and structure that does not shy away from pops of freshness. Delectable on all accounts to drink now or if you like more aged character, holding it would not be an issue.
For You If: You enjoy fresh crunchy pinot noir that have a lot of floral components
Not For You If: You enjoy earthier pinot noirs with a bit more robustness
"The 2022 Pinot Noir Jessie Vineyard Mt. Jefferson Cuvee is gorgeous out of the gate, offering a floral and fresh profile revealing notes of incense and ripe wild raspberries. Medium-bodied and elegant but structured, it has a mouth-filling, rich texture, with ripe tannins and great energy. The acidity is even and ripe, but there's still vibrant energy to it."
"Wildly exotic, the 2022 Pinot Noir Mt. Jefferson Cuvee captivates with its seductive blend of dried flowers, incense, rosemary and dried strawberries. This is wonderfully fresh, nearly crunchy in feel, with stimulating acidity offsetting its tart red fruits and hints of sour citrus that pucker the cheeks. The 2022 finishes with youthful tension, lightly structured yet cooling and fresh, leaving suggestions of tart raspberry. About 52% whole cluster fermentation."
