2019 Cristom Pinot Noir "Mt Jefferson" Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA - 1.5L MAG
Brilliant ruby-red. Spice-accented red and blue fruits, candied rose and baking spices on the fragrant nose. An Undercurrent of juicy acidity supports spice-tinged black raspberry, bitter cherry and boysenberry flavors that turn sweeter with air.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
"Across the 240 estate and 90 acres of vines, we incorporate a multitude of wine-growing and agricultural paradigms – organic and biodynamic farming principles, agro-ecology, permaculture and integrative pest management methods – to enrich the soil and enhance the quality of fruit. Using the Rudolf Steiner view of the integrated farm as a guide, we integrate these different farming methods to generate healthier ecosystems for the biology in the soil and to have greater vitality and diversity of life on the farm to enhance plant health. Farming using these methodologies is good for the ground that provides for us and we are preserving and enhancing the land for the future generations of stewards."
