WINE DESCRIPTION

Cristom Mt. Jefferson Cuvée Pinot Noir is a premium wine crafted by Cristom Vineyards, a family-owned producer located in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, USA. The grapes are sourced from several estate vineyards, including the Mt. Jefferson Vineyard, known for its volcanic soils and ideal climate for Pinot Noir. The winemaking process involves careful sorting of the grapes and fermentation in small lots, followed by aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant and complex, with aromas of red fruits, spice, and earth, and a silky texture that lingers on the palate. Cristom Mt. Jefferson Cuvée Pinot Noir is a fine example of the quality and diversity of Oregon Pinot Noir, and a testament to the producer's commitment to excellence.

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.
