Cristom Syrah is produced by Cristom Vineyards located in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA of Oregon. An unusual variety in Oregon, Syrah prospers here because the vineyard features volcanic soils and a cool climate, which allows for a long growing season and eventual ripening and the development of complex flavors. The winemaking process involves the inclusion of whole bunches, followed by fermentation in small batches and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a perfumed and generous Syrah with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. Cristom Syrah is a perfect example of the high-quality, well-defined style of wine emerging from the wider Willamette Valley region of Oregon.

Born from dry-farmed, head-trained vines, these grapes sing with bright acidity and vibrant cherry flavors. Zinfandel's bold personality shines through, even with just 50% in the blend. The rest? A playful mix of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Carignan, Tempranillo, and Graciano – a unique twist on every vintage. This "Problem Child" isn't a problem at all, but rather a testament to the winemaker's creativity, offering a constantly evolving canvas of bold fruit and intriguing complexity.
