Been tasting the Cristom Pinots lately. Louise Vineyard is heavier than the others, deep red with a big bouquet of red fruit aromas and aromatic spices. On the palate, raspberry and blackberry flavors with cacao notes in a bright spice. The wine comes off very smooth, light acidity and lingers to an almost creamy finish, holding on to its fruit.
