2015 Cristom Pinot Noir Mt. Jefferson Cuvée

Pronounced aromas of purple stone fruits accented by berries. Persistent presence from nose to palate.  More dilute than previous vintages of this cuvée, but offers better concentration than many other wines of the same vintage. Lingering acidity. (ECB)

Bright red. Fresh red berry and candied rose scents show impressive clarity and energy. Sweet and vibrant in style, offering lively, mineral-tinged raspberry and spicecake flavors and seamless texture. Closes with very good focus and alluring spiciness; fine-grained tannins add shape and subtle grip.

Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2015 Mt Jefferson Cuvee Pinot Noir has vibrant red cherry and black raspberry notes with suggestions of baking spices, fertile soil and violets. Medium-bodied with a good core of rich, ripe red berry flavors and a solid backbone of grainy tannins, it finishes with a refreshing lift.
