Cristom Vineyards Pinot Noir 'Mt. Jefferson Cuvee'

Cristom is one of Oregon's oldest and most respected estates, and their Mt. Jefferson Cuvée Pinot Noir is always fantastic. A blend of grapes from their estate vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills section of the Willamette Valley, this is classic Oregon Pinot Noir all the way. 

I suspect this will be on Wine Spectator's Top 100 List of Wine for 2025, and I would not be surprised if it landed in the top 10.....

Wine Spectator - 95 points - #11 on their Top 100 Wines of 2025 - "This impressive Pinot is polished and detailed, offering dynamic flavors of raspberry and blueberry, with mineral and brown baking spice hints that build richness toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2035."

Vinous Media - 93 points - "The 2023 Pinot Noir Mt. Jefferson Cuvée blends dusty rose, licorice and orange-tinged wild strawberries. Soothingly round and pure in style, it offers crisp red berry fruits and mineral tones complemented by pretty inner florals. Gently tannic and long, the palate leaves a pleasantly chewy sensation and finishes with a tart cranberry twang. As of 2023, the Mt. Jefferson Cuvée uses 77% estate fruit. It is a fantastic value."
