The 2021 Mt. Jefferson Cuvée Pinot Noir includes 52% estate fruit. It was fermented with 44% whole clusters, and the wine matured in 20% new French oak for 11 months. It opens slowly to reveal aromas of cranberry, red cherry and star anise, plus finer nuances of Earl Grey tea leaves, pipe tobacco and iron. The medium-bodied palate features delicately styled, juicy red fruit framed by softly chalky tannins, and it boasts expansive floral and spice character on the long finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years in bottle.
The calibre of the 2019 Mt. Jefferson Cuvée Pinot Noir, Cristom's largest-production SKU, is impressive this vintage. Medium ruby-purple, it features savoury cranberry sauce, orange peel and tar aromas with tones of dried flowers and spice. The medium-bodied palate offers the pleasing, gently grippy tannins and bright freshness characteristic of Cristom's generous whole-cluster inclusion, and it finishes with intense, layered fruits and floral accents.

Oregon is a state located in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is known for its diverse geography, ranging from the rugged coastline to the Cascade Mountains and the high desert in the east. The wine industry in Oregon has been growing steadily since the 1960s, with a focus on producing high-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other cool-climate varietals.

The Willamette Valley is the most well-known wine region in Oregon, and it is home to over 500 wineries. The valley is known for its cool, wet climate, which is ideal for growing Pinot Noir grapes. The region's volcanic soils also contribute to the unique character of the wines produced here.

The Rogue Valley is another important wine region in Oregon, located in the southern part of the state. The region is known for its warm, sunny climate, which is ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and other warm-climate varietals. The region's diverse soils, which range from volcanic to alluvial, also contribute to the unique character of the wines produced here.

The Columbia Gorge AVA is a relatively new wine region in Oregon, located in the Columbia River Gorge. The region is known for its dramatic scenery, with steep cliffs and waterfalls, as well as its diverse microclimates. The region produces a wide range of varietals, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
