2002 Cristom Louise Vineyard Pinot Noir

[wondersofwine]

Willamette Valley, OR
14% alcohol Cost me about $40.
Deep purple color with crimson glints at the edge. Nose of purple and dark fruits. Taste of dark cherries and plumskin on the palate. Long finish. Oak treatment subtle, not overwhelming IMO. I liked this and would rate it in the upper 80's (very good to very good+) but can find other CA and OR Pinots that I like as much for $10-$15 less so perhaps a one-time purchase.
