  dark garnet with no bricking. opens to a powerful nose of earth, dark cherry, and dried rose. a big powerful masculine wine in the Cristom lineup. you get blackberry, black cherry, and scorched earth along with a hint of oak. the wine is super smooth and soft as the tannins have resolved nicely. there's great balance here, accompanied by a nice long finish. will appeal to those who like a bigger riper style of pinot noir. paired perfectly with grilled salmon

  Superb - a wonderful, aged Oregon Pinot. Beautiful notes of earth floor, spice and blueberry, with wonderful structure, complexity and depth. Good length. Better than a year ago. 92-93.

  Drink now, but still drinking well. High acid, medium tannin and body. 15 minutes in glass opened up with bright strawberry, cherry, cranberry, and red currant. Spicy notes of cedar, coffee, and dark chocolate. Wonderful.
