Cristom Pinot Noir 'Marjorie Vineyard' (Eola-Amity Hills, OR) '22

Cristom Vineyards Marjorie Vineyard Pinot Noir is a powerful and elegant expression from one of the estate’s most historic sites, originally planted in 1982 and replanted vine-by-vine starting in 2000. Nestled between Louise and Eileen vineyards, this small 5-acre site yields intensely concentrated fruit that delivers grace, texture, and complexity. The wine opens with aromatic notes of violets, mint, thyme, and red berries, followed by a palate of cranberry, cherry, and dried blueberry framed by firm tannins and fresh acidity. Made with 50% whole-cluster fermentation and aged in 36% new French oak, it is structured for long-term aging—drink now through 2039. Only 665 cases made.
