To be honest. Mike enjoyed all of this bottle. I took a few sips and found it most enjoyable. Rich, cherry and dark chocolate notes. Very well balanced. I would buy this again. Excellent quality. (Feb 2019)
2016 Cristom Mt. Jefferson Pinot Noir Cuvee

More Information
Wine and Spirits said: Mount Jeff is Cristom’s entry-level wine, and one of the best deals in its portfolio,
The wine maker had this to say the wines of 2016 bear more than a passing resemblance to two other highly-acclaimed Oregon vintages: 2012 and 2008, years known for producing low yields of small, concentrated berries

My Tasting Notes
I found the nose to be light with more earth than berry. In the flavor I found blue fruit like rich blueberry and warm spices. Very good.

My Tasting Notes
Medium ruby in color. The nose is clean, with medium intensity and aromas of rose, red cherry and blueberry maybe a little lavender. The wine is dry medium+ acid, medium tannin, high alcohol, medium+ body and finish. The flavors are prune, black currant, leather, tomato leaf. It's alittle too heavy for me.
