During my first visit to Oregon 8 years ago, the floral aromatics and overall quality of Cristom’s single vineyard 2008 Pinot Noirs made a lasting impression. So I was very excited to spend a beautiful afternoon seeing the vineyards (pics 6-7), touring the barrel room (pics 4-5), and, most importantly, tasting through Cristom’s fine lineup (pic 8)! The highlight of the tasting was the side-by-side tasting of the four 2016 single vineyard Pinot Noirs - Eileen, Jessie, Louise and Marjorie. While Marjorie receives the most acclaim, the Eileen showed the best on Sunday with amazing aromatics that just exploded from the glass! Given my obsession with Syrah and Northern Rhône wines, I also very much enjoyed the 16 Syrah, which is made in a Cote Rotie style with 4.5% Viognier. Thanks very much to @cellarcat (with whom I previously tasted at Cain in Napa way back in 2008!) and @cristomwine for the memorable, first-class experience! ______________________________#vineyards #oregonpinot #willamettevalley #willamettevalleywine #salemoregon #pinotnoir #oregonpinotnoir #pinotnoirlover #vineyardvines #winery #winerytour #winetasting #winetastings #cristomvineyards #redwine #wine #vinho #vin #vino #winetravel #winelover #sommlife #sommelier #wineblogger #wineblog #hublot #hublotbigbang #attorneylife (at Cristom Vineyards) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0QjmQcntDK/?igshid=lhmx3jrecdtn

Most of our Oregon wines we have purchased ourselves during travels through various wine regions in that beautiful state. Today’s wine is n exception - it was a gift. We had not had wine from Cristom Vineyards before. Now we want to visit them in our next trip up to Oregon. . . . . We enjoyed the 2015 Mt Jefferson Cuvée Pinot Noir - a blend of grapes from Cristom’s vineyards as well as other Willamette Valley producers. This wine was impressive. Strong fruit flavors - cherry, cranberry, strawberry, balanced by nice acidity. A medium to full- bodied wine. Nice tannic structure. As Irene likes to say, a Cab lover’s Pinot. . . . . #wine #winetasting #winelover #winenight #wines #wineoclock #wineo #wineglass #winebottle #winestagram #winesofinstagram #instawine #oregon #oregonwine #oregonwinecountry #willamettevalley #willamettevalleypinotnoir #willamettevalleywine #wvwines #orwine #salem #salemoregon #pinotnoir #oregonpinot #cristomvineyards #winelife #wineblog (at Napa, California)
