Cristom, Mt. Jefferson, Pinot Noir, 6x75cl

🍷 Cristom – Mt. Jefferson Pinot Noir
USA | Oregon | Eola-Amity Hills AVA | 100% Pinot Noir
Style: Still Red Wine | Elegant and Structured
Winemaking: Fermented with native yeasts, partial whole-cluster inclusion, and minimal intervention. Aged in French oak barrels (a portion new) to develop texture, depth, and complexity.
Farming: Sustainably farmed vineyards perched on volcanic soils in the cool-climate Eola-Amity Hills, where Pacific breezes help craft Pinot Noir of vibrancy and finesse.

🌲 A benchmark Oregon Pinot—vivid, layered, and gorgeously expressive.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with youthful garnet edges—bright and alluring.

👃 On the Nose:
Complex and aromatic. Notes of wild blueberries, dark cherries, and plum compote meet hints of cassis, graphite, fragrant woodsmoke, and spice box.

👅 On the Palate:
Refined yet powerful. A cascade of dark cherry and berry fruit is supported by firm, velvety tannins and lifted by savoury spice and mineral nuance. Expansive mid-palate and a persistent, elegant finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with duck breast, roast quail, mushroom risotto, or grilled salmon. A versatile red for earthy or delicately spiced dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Beautiful now, but will evolve gracefully for 8–10 years, gaining complexity and silky texture.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Cristom’s Mt. Jefferson is everything great Pinot should be—balanced, vibrant, and brimming with place. A compelling example of Oregon’s mastery with this noble grape.
