The 2008 Pinot Noir Louise Vineyard presents a similar aromatic and flavor profile to the Marjorie Vineyard. A seductive nose of Asian spices, incense, floral notes, and amalgam of red and black fruits is followed by a loaded, plush, silky wine with outstanding volume and balance. This lengthy offering will deliver pleasure from 2013 to 2023.
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.
