2009 Cristom Vineyards Pinot Noir "Louise Vineyard"![]() Winery: Cristom Vineyards Vintage: 2009 Wine Name/Vineyard: "Louise Vineyard" Wine Category: Pinot Noir Grape blend: 100% Pinot Noir Region: Eola Amity Hills State or country: OR Price: $50 Cases produced: 439 KWG Score: 93.6 (based on 3 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good+ (92) Review date: April 30, 2012 Wine Review: This light red Pinot is slightly opaque and opens with a fragrant and inviting black raspberry and old oak bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic, suave, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a mild black raspberry and plum with notes of black pepper and spice. I also detected hints of minerality throughout. The finish is dry and displays fine tannins and just a touch of residual heat. This Pinot is very food friendly and elegant enough to pair perfectly with grilled cedar plank salmon. Enjoy - Ken Winemaker Notes: Classic Oregon Pinot Noir, at its most svelte and stylish. Fresh and clean upon entry, it showcases its raspberry and cherry fruit in a delicate "wrap" of leaf and bark. - Paul Gregutt Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Cristom 2009 Louise Pinot Noir.
