Cristom Willamette Pinot Noir

A new wine from Cristom, the 2024 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley comes mainly from purchased fruit and a small amount of estate fruit. It was fermented with 42% whole clusters and matured for nine months in 16% new French oak. It has open-knit aromas of red and black cherries, charcuterie, damp earth and fallen leaves. The medium-bodied palate pairs concentrated fruit with well-integrated oak spice. It™s structured by silky tannins and juicy acidity and has an easygoing finish.
