2014 Cristom Estate Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., 1,620 cases, $50. First produced in 2013 to replace the Sommers Reserve. An ensemble of each of the four estate Pinot Noir vineyards to tell the story of the specific vintage. Whole cluster fermented by native yeast. Unfiltered. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Comforting aromas of cherry, potpourri, rose petal and herbs. Lighter weighted flavors of cherry and strawberry fruits in a refined, juicy and crisp style with very suave tannins and a modest finish. Elegantly composed and welcoming now, with the slightest herbal oak note in the background. Score: 90. Reviewed January 20, 2018
