Following a Rajat Parr score of 9.9 is a bit intimidating, for sure. I went to a wine tasting led by Cristom’s wine maker, & this led the lineup. For the entry level white, I was shocked: a light touch Chard, salt water taffy, Anjou pear, & pear skin notes; has snap & tension too. Drinks more like a bigger Loire Sauvignon in a good way. A good food wine but we had as sipping wine. For high 20’s/low 30 dollars( I got at 25$) can Europe make better whites? Maybe, but this is really, really enticing stuff for the dollar. — 4 days ago

Fun experience. Deconstructed Louise. 50% is the winner. 0% easily the bottom. Good wine across the board but interesting to taste the influence of sticks. We blended them all together too, pretty good, Cristom is on to something. — a year ago

We had this good Chardonnay on 6/3/23. Lemon zest and some minerality. Well balanced and medium bodied — 3 years ago

Still zippy, red fruit, wet volcanic rock, fireworks. But this time I made the mistake of serving after a fuller-bodied Domaine du Pegau! I enjoy this pinot slightly more than the average Cristom but less than the average Radio Coteau. — 4 years ago

Ruby red, very good clarity. Strawberry aroma, strawberry and raspberry flavors, light skin astringency and a bit of seed bitterness on finish. Slightly tart. After 30 minutes, the lactic character comes out in the finish. — 4 months ago

We had this and Louise for an in house vertical. Both had a great mouthfeel. Both had black cherry, black raspberry and a cherry liqueur feel. Jessie was just a little lighter in flavor. Both were better now than when I had them 6 years ago. Medium bodied, fruit forward. — 7 months ago

9.2

Darkly floral and youthfully inward, the 2022 Pinot Noir Jessie Vineyard opens with a spicy mix of cedar shavings, earth tones and crushed black raspberries, all lifted by a hint of mint. This is more energetic than expected yet also full of youthful tension. Tart red berries penetrate deeply as grippy tannins settle in toward the close. An air of autumnal spice and lavender lingers as the 2022 finishes with medium length and ample structure. (Eric Guido, Vinous, August 2024)

The Cristom Louise Vineyard chardonnay was a delightful Willamette chardonnay, able to stand with the better Napa and Carneros chardonnay. — 3 years ago
