"Plenty of golden apples, lemon zest, sweet spices and toasted brioche on the nose. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity. Well-driven and precise, with a vibrant core of fresh lemons lifting the mid-palate and a focused, juicy finish. Drink or hold."

"Cristom is a family-owned winery dedicated to sustainability and organic farming in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA of Oregon's Willamette Valley. This bottling is a blend from several different vineyard sites. It offers aromas of stone fruit and minerals on the nose and a textured, engaging palate."
