Cristom's Mt. Jefferson Cuvee presents a captivating Pinot Noir defined by its pristine acidity and refined complexity. This wine showcases an intriguing interplay of dark fruit—blackberry, cherry, and huckleberry—layered with savory undertones of curry leaf and forest mushroom. Delicate aromatics of dried citrus and warming spices complement earthy nuances of woodland floor and conifer, while the palate reveals lush raspberry and cherry fruit with graceful floral notes. The wine concludes with a lingering, peppery finish that speaks to its elegant structure and meticulous balance.

James SucklingVery 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.

Wine SpectatorThis 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.
Grape Variety
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is a red wine grape variety that is widely considered one of the most challenging and finicky to grow. It is known for producing elegant, aromatic wines with flavors and aromas that can include red berries, cherry, floral notes, and earthy undertones. Pinot Noir is often associated with regions like Burgundy in France, where it reaches its pinnacle, producing some of the world's most sought-after and expensive wines.
Region
Willamette Valley
Willamette Valley is Oregon’s most celebrated wine region, best known for elegant, cool-climate Pinot Noir that emphasizes balance, bright acidity, and expressive terroir rather than sheer power. Stretching south from Portland, the valley’s marine-influenced climate, long growing season, and diverse volcanic and sedimentary soils create wines with red cherry, raspberry, earthy spice, and floral notes. Alongside Pinot Noir, the region also excels with Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Riesling, often crafted in a restrained, Old World–inspired style. Sustainable and organic farming are deeply ingrained here, and many producers favor small-lot, site-driven winemaking that highlights vineyard character.
