Tasting notes
Nose
On the nose it displays an intense aromatic expression where ripe red cherries, fresh raspberries and subtle floral notes reminiscent of rose petals stand out. Delicate spicy nuances also appear, such as cinnamon and white pepper, and an earthy touch characteristic of the Eola-Amity Hills terroir.
Palate
In the mouth it is fresh and balanced, with a lively acidity that provides tension and lengthens the palate. The texture is silky, with fine, polished tannins that envelop flavors of juicy red fruits, soft spices and a discreet mineral touch. The finish is long, elegant and leaves a pleasant sensation of freshness and purity.

Description
This is Cristom's signature blend, designed to capture the diversity of the Eola-Amity Hills terroir. It is made with 75% grapes from our own vineyards and 25% from neighboring plots, grown on volcanic basalt soils of the Columbia River, using certified sustainable viticulture and a biodynamic approach.
The winemaking process begins with hand-harvesting, including 52% whole cluster grapes, and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in open tanks. It remains in contact with its lees for 10–12 months in French oak barrels, 22% of which are new. It is bottled and clarified with minimal intervention, without filtration.
With 475 barrels produced, it offers a clear expression of Cristom's style: true to the place, balanced, with a fresh structure, marked acidity and a complex profile that evolves thanks to the integration of multiple plots.
Specialized critics have praised the 2023 vintage with outstanding scores: James Suckling awarded it 95 points, highlighting its firmness and concentration, while Wine Spectator also gave it 95, reaffirming its polish and detail; it is expected to evolve until 2035.
In wine enthusiast communities, this cuvée is recognized as a great value option, with fresh and approachable expressions in its early stages, capable of competing with higher-end Pinot Noir.
