Its ripe aromas feature plums

The palate is exploding with rich dark fruit

Seriously structured and yet also so smooth

Very good balance of restrained grape sweetness and crisp acidity

This fruit driven wine shows notes of black cherry

Cristom 'Jessie Vineyard' Pinot Noir 2022 J. Bookwalter Its ripe aromas feature plumsThis section of the Cristom estate was hit pretty hard with voles and they obliterated a big block of vines looking for water. The aromatics of fresh berries and fresh mint show the steep site's signature, taking twice the work of the rest of the single vineyards at Cristom. A balance of grace and power, this bottling was Steven Spurrier's favourite. The elegance overcomes the power of the site, with earth and forest floor aromas finishing the show.
