Ruby-red with a bright rim. Heady aromas of black raspberry, cherry-cola, Asian spices and candied rose, with a vibrant mineral quality and a touch of woodsmoke. Finely delineated raspberry and cherry flavors show excellent depth, with zesty acidity giving shape to the wine. Strikingly elegant and precise pinot with serious finishing cling and persistent spiciness.

The 2008 Pinot Noir Marjorie Vineyard is the most elegant of the Cristom offerings. Medium ruby in color, its enticing bouquet shows off notes of smoke, cherry blossom, cinnamon, clove, cranberry, and raspberry. Intensely flavored, concentrated, and velvety-textured, it will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and drink well for a decade thereafter. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, continuity and consistency are the keys to Cristom’s success. The winemaking team led by Steve Doerner rose to the occasion, taking full advantage of the great raw materials provided by the 2008 vintage. Tel. (503) 375-3068; www.cristomwines.com
