2014 CRISTOM PINOT NOIR JESSIE VINEYARD

Jessie Vineyard tends to produce Pinot Noirs that you can recognize by a savory aroma that often calls to mind rare-beef. It also tends to have a very fresh and appealing scent of minerality, along with some higher tone lavender—purple flower notes. On the palate, Jessie tends towards a full mouth-feel and a deeper—darker—rounder impression. You can find a certain ‘nervosity’ in this wine that describes some part of the tension between the ripe fruit and the structure of the wine.
