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!!

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.

A 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.

We had the 2014 Vintage on 8/8-9/25. Red cherry, raspberry and earthy flavors. Not a bad Oregonian PN. Cristom and other wineries produce better.

Aug 10th, 2025Quite fruit driven. So perhaps less up my alley compared to the 2022 Résonance. Bright and refreshing. Comes across relative light compared to the Resonance from the L. Jadot outfit. 🍒 cherry, quite tannic, touch lime 🍋🟩 juice. Nice and easy - lacks complexity so I am surprised by the high 95WS rating.
