The 2013 Cristom Pinot Noir Mt. Jefferson Cuvée offers a medium-bodied, elegant profile with a charming mix of dark cherry, blackberry, and pomegranate flavors, complemented by subtle spice and a touch of forest floor. It shows a silky smooth texture with lush tannins and a balanced acidity that carries a long, refined finish. The wine’s complexity and freshness reflect the cool vintage, with hints of leather and wet stone adding depth. This cuvée is reminiscent of classic Willamette Valley Pinots, combining fruit-forward richness with earthy nuance. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or grilled salmon.
