Theres a sort of charred cedar/sassafrass on the nose that seems to weave through the wines of this vineyard and very pronounced here. Pallette is supple, good structure and grilled cherries, wild herbs on the finish. This wine almost dances in a way thats graceful but also untamed. Anyways, its damn good.

Lovely and complex...kind of smoky and floral at the same time.

Superb Pinot. At five retaining a presence of fruit, the balanced back palate acidity working beautifully with a range of dishes.

Recently released, the wine is comprised of grapes from four of Cristom's estate vineyards, along with purchased fruit from 14 vineyard. Ruby with aromas of red berry fruit and spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry, almost sweet with hints of orange citrus and spice. Full tannins reveal this powerhouse will be happy sitting in the cellar for a while. The finish is well balanced and ends with oaky notes. Very nice.
