Light burgundy color. Crushed raspberry, cherry, and a bit of mushroom and damp earth. Lingering finish. Opens over time.

The bright freshness and fruit-forward personality of the Mt Jefferson cuvée is spot-on year after year, making it a quintessential Willamette blend. Sweet red berries, roses, baking spice and just enough savory component to bring your nose down into the dirt. Just a tad saline and rustic. The open and approachable young-drinking nature of this wine gives it a very broad appeal.

Not as boozy as a California Pinot Noir, which is more familiar to me. This smells of cherries and black pepper. The taste is more skim than a CA pinot noir. It leans towards a bitterness rather than a sweetness, but finishes strong. Very different from the California Pinot Noirs. I need to get acquainted with more of what Oregon offers. All a part of my wine education.

I most frequently drink California Pinot Noirs. There is quite a big difference between the California PN and Oregon PN. First the color. A California wine will be darker in the glass. This Cristom is pale and purple with hint of rust, but very transparent. it is also more acidic. A California PN is actually quite bold and rich. The Cristom is more complex, I would say, because it is light, but yet it has depth. It is hard to classify because it seems to bounce from left to right ( like the political opinions of some!). It finishes long . I think I could acquire a taste for this stuff. But, for now, it is new and still up for further scrutiny.
