2006 Cristom Pinot Noir 'Louise Vineyard,' Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley (MAGNUM)

Cristom Vineyards was established in 1992 to craft single vineyard Pinot Noirs from our distinctive, individual sites across our 240-acre estate. Today those five single vineyards named for members of the founding Gerrie family – Eileen, Jessie, Louise, Marjorie and Paul Gerrie – have earned an international reputation for their individuality, authenticity, consistency and excellence. The 2006 Pinot Noir Louise Vineyard is medium ruby-colored with a superb bouquet of pain grille, mineral, cranberry, cherry, and rose petals. Layered and plush on the palate, it has loads of savory fruit, complex flavors, and a silky-smooth finish that lasts for 45-seconds. Give it 3-4 years in the cellar and drink it from 2012 to 2020.
