  • 2022 Cristom Mt. Jefferson Cuvée Pinot Noir
    Eola-Amity Hills
    Expand
    “Mt. Jeff” embodies Cristom’s hallmark style, marrying whole cluster and native yeast fermentations with a focus on estate fruit complemented by benchmark vineyard sites in the Eola-Amity Hills. It is Cristom’s flagship Pinot Noir -- the first of the vintage to be crafted after multiple tastings of every individual barrel -- and offers tremendous flavor complexity, approachability in its youth, and unparalleled value.
    Suggested Retail Price: $50
  • 2021 Cristom Louise Vineyard Pinot Noir
    Louise Vineyard, Eola-Amity Hills
    Expand
    Established in 1993 and planted on the lowest slopes of the Cristom estate, Louise Vineyard is more sheltered from the cold Pacific Ocean winds by a small forest and hillside and has volcanic and marine sedimentary soils. The resulting wine has a softened, focused acidity and intense complexity, with a richness contributed by the 26–30-year-old vines.
    Suggested Retail Price: $80

Description

For over 30 years, Cristom Vineyards has crafted benchmark Pinot Noir and Chardonnay using traditional techniques that express our cool, windswept, east-facing volcanic slopes in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills. Established in 1992 by the Gerrie family and now steered by the second generation, we remain stewards of five world-renowned estate vineyards – tributes to our founders, Paul and Eileen Gerrie, and family matriarchs – which are unique in their varied aspects, richly diverse soils, clonal diversity, and micro-climate.

Driven by a 100-year commitment to the land, our 240-acre estate is farmed using biodynamic and organic methods that reveal the purest expression of terroir. The dedicated winegrowing team, led by Owner and Winegrower Tom Gerrie, blends site-specific wisdom with revered winemaking traditions — site selection, low yields, and whole-cluster and native yeast fermentations — crafting elegant, structured, and dynamic wines.
