WINE DESCRIPTION

Cristom Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Cristom Vineyards, a renowned winery located in the Eola-Amity Hills appellation of Oregon. The vineyard features a unique combination of volcanic soils, elevation, and climate that create ideal growing conditions for Pinot Noir grapes. After harvesting, the grapes are hand-sorted and fermented with wild yeasts, which lends to a characteristic complexity and depth in the wine. The nose is filled with bright cherry and raspberry aromatics, while the palate is layered with rich flavors of dark fruit and earthy minerality.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Cristom Pinot Noir has a bright ruby appearance.Aromas of ripe red berries, cherry cola, exotic spices and a hint of potpourri reveal themselves on the deeply perfumed nose. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering spice-tinged black raspberry, cherry liqueur and rose pastille flavors complemented by subtle licorice and mocha nuances. A smoky quality builds with air and carries through a long, youthfully tannic finish that echoes the cherry note are evident in this mid-weight wine which has a spicyness on the palate coupled with a velvety texture. The finish is persistent, pure and lifted.

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.
