2024 Paul Gerrie Vineyard Pinot Noir, Cristom Vineyards

Paul Gerrie is Cristom’s largest and newest vineyard, planted in 2014, and named after their founder. It’s planted at higher elevations of nearly 800ft and represents the new generation at Cristom, with a strong nod towards the future and farming in a changing climate. The best fruit is reserved for this single vineyard bottling, with the remainder making up their Mount Jefferson blend, which since 2024 has been 100% estate fruit. In the single vineyard wine there is great acid retention, combining with fresh red and dark berry fruit, red petal aromas and minerally spice.
