Cristom Pinot Noir Marjorie Vineyard
Item No. US1-4019D07B
Marjorie Vineyard was planted in 1982. It is the only vineyard that Cristom kept when the property was purchased in 1992. It is a distinctive site that has wider spacing (605 vines per acre) than the subsequently planted vineyards. All the vineyards are planted on mineral-rich volcanic soils but the soils of Marjorie have the highest percentage of the Jory type. Marjorie is also more east facing than our other vineyard sites.
Tasted with a year of bottle age, Marjorie reminded me of a raspberry creamsicle. It is the lightest in color of our single vineyard bottlings. On the nose, it has the classic Pinot Noir aroma of faded rose petals, along with a smörgsbord of sweet-earthy-spicy notes. The wine delivers a pure velvet texture, more ripe red fruit and a kiss of caramel on the palate. More will be revealed in the shorter term with a little time in your cellar.
