Cristom Jessie Vineyard Pinot Noir Tinto

Description

Just by going up and down the hill we already have sore legs, say the team at Cristom Vineyards, referring to the steep slope where the vineyard of this Pinot Noir sits – named in honour of Tom Gerrie’s great‑grandmother, the winemaker Jessie Summers. This challenging location, combined with its volcanic soils, makes the grapes smaller and more concentrated, yielding a powerful yet distinctive wine with an eminently floral character, firm tannic structure and remarkable ageing potential.
