"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."

"Elegant and structured, offering appealing cherry and strawberry flavors accented by orange peel and rose petal, with hints of forest floor as this finishes with refined tannins."

"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."
