Sunday, May 15, 2016 - P&P, the slight bricking on the rim suggests full maturity. The delicious wine in the glass confirms this theory. Never to be confused with a Burg, or a even whatever considerations I would lob out there to describe typical OR pinot, no, this is through and through 100% Cristom. Like another producer I adore, Cayuse, this 02 Jessie appeals to my classic wine sensibilities but through unconventional means. Low acidity and big, bold flavor profiles would normally have me turning the other way, but they pull it off and get it right somehow, and with pretty good consistency I might add. Aged strawberry and brown sugar play off some earthy notes, all surrounded by a most vivid display of baking spices. Again, this might sound like a pinot that tires easily, simply not the case. I was bummed to finish the last glass on my last bottle, but I know this is a producer I will be drinking plenty of in the years ahead.
