2009 Cristom Jessie Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., $44.
·
Moderately
light reddish-purple color in the glass. Nicely perfumed with scents of black cherries and dark red raspberries
with a hint of oak. A gentle, comforting style, with lighter weight flavors of cherry pie filling and a hint of
charcoal and spice. Soft in the mouth with noticeable length on the finish. Very good.

2008 Cristom Jessie Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., pH 3.88, TA 0.54,
656 cases, $50. Steeply sloped vineyard planted to high density. Primarily Nekia soil of volcanic origin. Dijon
113, 114, 115, 667, 777 and Pommard clones. 44% whole clusters, native yeast used exclusively. Aged 17
months in 63% new Burgundian oak cooperage.
·
Medium reddish-purple robe in the glass. Aromas of jam on
toast, woodshed and black cherry cola. Moderately extracted dark red and blue fruits with a touch of stem on
the dry finish. The wine has a burly tannic backbone that is buffered by good acidity. Showing significant
tannin and oak influence and reserved fruit now like so many young Pinot Noirs from Oregon’s 2008 vintage,
several years will be needed for the wine to fully reveal its charms. Very good.

13.5% alc., $24
(375 ml).

Wonderfully scented with spiced cherries. Black cherries and black raspberries offer great
purity of flavor. Graceful and supple, with a velvety texture and a pleasing and long dry finish. An
impressive effort.
