2006 Cristom Mt. Jefferson Cuvee Pinot Noir
When I was sick a few weeks back, some friends of Court came to visit and went to dinner at BONDA. I asked Jamie what they cracked and he paused. He then told me this Cristom is drinking mighty fine. As soon as I got better, I opened a bottle for myself.
Here are my notes:
The nose is pure heaven: oregano, green pepper, ripe red fruit, basil, driftwood, yeasty bread dough with a touch of alcohol.
On the palate, medium tannins, tame fruit, touch of oak with roasted plum.
Not as killer as Jamie would have led me to believe, but definitely drinking well now.
