Cristom Mt. Jefferson Cuvée Pinot Noir 2023 (1.5L)
Product price
Description
Pinot Noir from Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills, a cooler pocket of the Willamette Valley, tends toward brightness and finesse rather than weight, and Cristom Vineyards works that register with the 2023 Mt. Jefferson Cuvée. This is a red drawn from across the estate and beyond, a house introduction to the varietal's more perfumed, red-fruited side.

Expert Reviews
Very firm, focused and concentrated, showing pure black cherries and blackcurrants on a lively frame of nervy acidity and moderate tannins. Mouthwatering acidity, with fruit expanding on the palate and spices like cloves and cinnamon developing. Drink now or hold. (James Suckling, March 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. 11,870 cases made. (Wine Spectator)
This is 77% estate fruit, in the 2023 vintage of Mt Jefferson (up from 64% in the 2021 vintage); it's no average blend. The winemaking team says that some impressive barrels make it to this bottle. ‘We make all of our wines to be vineyard designates, and many of those wines make it to this cuvée,’ says winemaker Daniel Estrin. Aromatically alluring with red fruits, spicy clove and savoury whisps of mint. The palate shows ample texture, tannin and great pops of fruit, red berries, and blood orange press across the palate, trailing savoury herbs and spice. (Decanter, May 2025)
