NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Cristom Eileen Vineyard Pinot Noir is a well-balanced and graceful expression of the varietal.On the nose, aromas of tart cherry and raspberry dominate, with a hint of baking spices and fresh herbal notes. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with juicy acidity and sweet tannins that lead to a long and elegant finish. Flavors of ripe dark cherry, cassis, and blackberry mingle with subtle hints of clove, nutmeg, and tobacco. Overall, this is an excellent Pinot Noir that will pair well with a variety of dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Cristom

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
