Full bodied and full-bodied Pinot Noir from the Eola-Amity Hill AVA, exhibiting the Appassionata Vineyard's expertise in crafting a wine that is both elegant and complex. The tannins are well-balanced, and the dash of Oregon Marion berry adds a delicate nuance to the all around profile.

What the web is saying

J. Christopher Lumiére Pinot Noir is praised for its smooth, round mouthfeel and well-balanced tannins. It offers a refined, elegant experience with flavors of strawberry, cherry, and allspice, complemented by a subtle vanilla note. While some find it compact with a snappy finish, others appreciate its long, dry aftertaste and complexity. This wine pairs well with various dishes, enhancing the dining experience.

Voss Experts4.3

This J. Christopher Lumiére Pinot Noir is an exquisite example of Oregon's most beloved varietal. It has a beautiful ruby color and an inviting nose of ripe cherries, baking spices and a hint of earthiness. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright red fruit flavors of raspberry and strawberry, backed by a hint of minerality, spice and earthy complexity. The finish is long and silky, leaving behind pleasant notes of oak and vanilla. Overall, a well-balanced and highly enjoyable Pinot Noir.
