Description
 
Established in 1992, Cristom has been under the control of founder and owner Paul Gerrie and winemaker Steve Doerner since their foundation. Paul emphasises the Cristom philosophy of “letting the land make the wines’, while Steve believes his role is to optimise what nature provides. The continuity of personnel, combined with the ownership of prime vineyard sites, has allowed Cristom to produce impressive Pinot Noirs, particularly the single vineyard cuvees which are named in honour of matriarchs of the Gerrie family. Incorporating the estate’s steepest slopes – and, according to the geologists, featuring seven distinct variations on eroded basalt, at widely differing depths –

From the steepest east-facing vineyard with heterogenous soil types located just outside the winery, the 2012 Pinot Noir Jessie Vineyard includes about 40 or 50% whole cluster fruit. It has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with generous crushed strawberry and raspberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a lovely mineral-core of fruit cloaked in dark cherry and bilberry fruit. There is fine salinity here, very good depth, with a long and quite powerful saline finish. Excellent. Wine Advocate 93 (2012)
