Cristom Mt. Jefferson Cuvee Pinot Noir 2024

The 2024 Cristom "Mt. Jefferson Cuvée" marks a historic 30th anniversary milestone for the winery's flagship bottling, crafted for the first time entirely from 100% estate-grown fruit. Sourced from four of the five prestigious estate vineyards—Louise, Jessie, Eileen, and Paul Gerrie—this vintage captures the soul of the Eola-Amity Hills with striking precision. It offers pronounced floral aromas of rose and lavender, layered with blue fruit, plum, and subtle hints of forest floor. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced and energetic, featuring fresh acidity and flavors of tart cherry and raspberry. Following Cristom's hallmark style, it was fermented with 43% whole clusters and native yeasts, then aged for 11 months in 16% new French oak, resulting in a silky texture and long, savory finish.

96 Points - James Suckling

The nose is very savory, earthy and botanical, with red roses, sandstone and minerals. The palate is dense and concentrated, with fresh, pure fruit flavors. Full-bodied and structured with a long finish.
