"A structured, full and aromatic wine that balances freshness with power. Mineral rich and floral, with aromas of pine, mushrooms and roses. Lots of crunchy fruit on the palate, with fine, mouth-filling tannins and tart red fruit. Drink or hold."

"A new wine from Cristom, the 2024 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley comes mainly from purchased fruit and a small amount of estate fruit. It was fermented with 42% whole clusters and matured for nine months in 16% new French oak. It has open-knit aromas of red and black cherries, charcuterie, damp earth and fallen leaves. The medium-bodied palate pairs concentrated fruit with well-integrated oak spice. It™s structured by silky tannins and juicy acidity and has an easygoing finish. 4,895 cases were made."
