This is proof that OR is making world class Pinot Noir. I had a glass two nights ago, and it was wound tight. I just put the cork back in and opened it tonight, and it's humming. Bright raspberry fruit, savory sous bois, great acidity, fine tannins. "Professional" critics tout '12 & '14, but the great producers in OR made wines of longevity and complexity in '11 & '13.

This 2014 Cristom did not disappoint. Pale purple with a sweet aroma of cherries, raspberries, and fresh potting soil after a light rain. Light bodied with medium acidity. Top notch Pinot. Buy the case.

Crunch and juicy but could have used a little more texture and elegance. Pretty easy to consume nonetheless.

A nice change of pace and a really pretty and well structured wine. Definitely one to hold but I had to check it!
