The 2022 Cristom, "Mt. Jefferson Cuvee" Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley was a Merchant's Pick
"Wildly Exotic" Pinot Noir!
August 12, 2024
Few Oregon Pinots deliver like Cristom's Mt. Jefferson Cuvee, easily our most requested Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley.
It is a multi-year Wine Spectator Top 100 wine. And, it has been ranked the #1 Pinot Noir in "America's Best Restaurants" by Wine Enthusiast for the following five years: 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018. It has also been an "Editor's Choice" by Wine Enthusiast on several releases.
The accolades are justified; Cristom is a fantastic Oregon Pinot Noir.
"Wildly exotic, the 2022 Pinot Noir Mt. Jefferson Cuvée captivates with its seductive blend of dried flowers, incense, rosemary and dried strawberries. This is wonderfully fresh, nearly crunchy in feel, with stimulating acidity offsetting its tart red fruits and hints of sour citrus that pucker the cheeks. The 2022 finishes with youthful tension, lightly structured yet cooling and fresh, leaving suggestions of tart raspberry. About 52% whole cluster fermentation." Vinous
