Less whole clusters than previous vintages, due to cooler season. Rich Bright Ruby with aromas of red berry fruit, and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine was full-body and showed a focus of fruit, sweet raspberry, cherry, cranberry and currants. The Pinot Noir showed refined smooth tannins surrounded by lively acidity and a touch of earthy minerals and cinnamon spice, giving the wine a tremendous depth and balance. This is a very elegant wine that had great length on the finish. Nice!

A picture of elegance with some orange zest & black tea-like tannins accenting the red fruit. Cristom delivers great wines in every vintage and this is no different.

Raspberry, pomegranate, clove, strawberry meringue, vanilla bean. Silky texture, excellent acid/savory tannin balance, light medium body, long clean, slightly earthy finish.
