Very firm, focused and concentrated, showing pure black cherries and blackcurrants on a lively frame of nervy acidity and moderate tannins. Mouthwatering acidity, with fruit expanding on the palate and spices like cloves and cinnamon developing. Drink now or hold. (JG)

***#11 in the Top 100 Wines of 2025*** This impressive Pinot is polished and detailed, offering dynamic flavors of raspberry and blueberry, with mineral and brown baking spice hints that build richness toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2035. (TF)

This is 77% estate fruit, in the 2023 vintage of Mt Jefferson (up from 64% in the 2021 vintage); it's no average blend. The winemaking team says that some impressive barrels make it to this bottle. ‘We make all of our wines to be vineyard designates, and many of those wines make it to this cuvée,’ says winemaker Daniel Estrin. Aromatically alluring with red fruits, spicy clove and savoury whisps of mint. The palate shows ample texture, tannin and great pops of fruit, red berries, and blood orange press across the palate, trailing savoury herbs and spice. (CP)

Int'l Wine Review

Derived primarily from four Cristom estate vineyards, this cuvée highlights the unique character of Eola-Amity Hills. The wine was aged for 11 months on its lees in 26% new French oak barrels, enhancing both texture and depth. The glass reveals a radiant garnet core edged with a pale salmon rim. On the nose, it delivers a vivid medley of black raspberry, wild plum, and marionberry, intertwined with savory undertones of bay leaf and porcini mushrooms. Accents of candied orange and sweet vanilla add intrigue. The palate is a refined tapestry of earthy complexity and lush fruit, with notes of fresh cranberries, red cherries, and subtle violet florals. Nuances of pine needles and wet stone bring depth, while the vibrant acidity carries the flavors to a lingering, spice-tinged finish.

Notes

***#11 in the Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2025*** Perhaps the greatest ever edition of this perennial standout. A truly exceptional wine at this price point. The 2023 Mt Jefferson Cuvee from Cristom is stunning. Produced from 77% estate-grown fruit plus small parcels from close neighbors in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. The wine was fermented in small lots using native yeast and around 50% whole-clusters. The wine was then aged in largely neutral French oak for 10 months.
