2009 Cristom Pinot Noir 'Mt. Jefferson Cuvée,' Willamette Valley (MAGNUM)

"The winemaking team at Cristom Vineyards may be one of the most experienced, qualified and dynamic groups in the wine industry today. We collectively have over 200 years of experience farming and making wines from our estate in the Eola-Amity Hills. With the same family ownership since 1992, our team is a combination of original employees and a second-generation blending know-how, education and talent to craft benchmark Pinot Noir for the region and steward this land into the future, (Cristom Winery)". "Bright and jazzy, with a lovely apricot edge to the red berry and spice flavors, dancing a lively jig as the finish persists. Has deftness and charm, too. Drink now through 2018, (WS, 90 points)".
