Produced since 1994 and named for Mt. Jefferson in the Cascade Range that is east of Cristom Vineyards and visible from their tasting room. From a blend of estate vineyard grapes, the wine is Ruby with aromas of red berries, floral and spice. On the palate flavors of fresh strawberry with tea leaves and cola notes, clean and vibrant. Fine soft tannins, long finish, carrying fruit and ending with a soft spice character. Very nice, great value!!

Ruby red, very good clarity. Strawberry aroma, strawberry and raspberry flavors, light skin astringency and a bit of seed bitterness on finish. Slightly tart. After 30 minutes, the lactic character comes out in the finish.

Absolutely top shelf WV PN. Spread its wings after 30 mins of air, verged on wow.

Mostly whole cluster and 20% new French Oak. Great, lifted floral aromas and a touch of spice. Black cherry in the background. Really classic Willamette.

Raspberries and Cherry - no strawberries (which was mentioned by another reviewer). So definitely on the Burgh side of things and just 13.5%. Fresh bright and beautiful. Flawless (I like it with some funk). Wouldn’t keep it drink now. As far as I remember highly rated by the so to speak « wine authorities ».

Aug 19th, 2026Really nice & pretty floral/fruity nose & palate, very enjoyable to drink overall but just becomes a bit one note for me after a while

Feb 8th, 2026Very pretty Oregon Pinot, loads of strawberry on the nose as well as violet & whipped cream, lush on the palate without being an overbearing fruit bomb. Present, somewhat grippy tannins and a touch of acidity, feels like a bigger, bolder Pinot but doesn't buckle under its own weight

Dec 14th, 2025A solid producer year after year! Very juicy and light. Some whole cluster. Very likable and unoffensive. Touch bitter. Orange zest, more red fruit than dark. Cherry/Hint blackberry. Touch oregano. Lime. Crushed marble. Covers the back palate nicely. Lots going on here. I consider this a drink now wine 36 bucks and 13.5%. There are just a handful of Pinots which win me over at this price point. And this one is in the Burgh killer zone. If you like Pinot this is a winner @ San Diego Wine Co.
