This is deep and dark, slightly muted soupy fruit, subtle but substantial acidity. A bit overwrought. Calls for meat or game. Grabbed it out of a “bargains” cart at $19.96.

Friends at the lake for a paella dinner and the 1.5L bottle of Cristom was a hit. Not too heavy, great flavor and a highly drinkable wine. Not sure it has too much longer, would suggest drinking it within the year.

Rusty clear red. Raspberries on the nose. Delicate fruit, berries on the first sip. Tannins still very much there. Wonderful wine.

Rich, balanced, a heavier Pinot with many dimensions

A wonderful mid-week kind of Pinot. Earthy tones dominated with fruit backgrounded.
