Cristom Jessie Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021
Description
« Rien que monter et descendre la colline, ça fait déjà mal aux jambes », disent-ils chez Cristom Vineyards en parlant de la pente raide où se trouve le vignoble d'origine de ce pinot noir, nommé ainsi en l'honneur de l'arrière-grand-mère de Tom Gerrie, Jessie Summers, elle-même viticultrice. Cette situation difficile, associée aux sols volcaniques, donne des raisins plus petits et plus concentrés, qui produisent un vin puissant mais distingué, au caractère éminemment floral, avec une structure tannique ferme et un super potentiel de vieillissement.&n

L'avis des experts
The 2021 Pinot Noir Jessie Vineyard was fermented with 52% whole clusters, and the wine was matured for 18 months in 38% new French oak. It features layered scents of raspberry, pomegranate, tea leaves, prosciutto and earth, offering additional nuances with each return to the glass. The medium-bodied palate offers complex layers of fruit, earth and spice. It has a seamless frame of dusty tannins and vibrant acidity and a long, fragrant finish. 781 cases were made.
Winemaker (and vineyard manager) Daniel Estrin refers to the Jessie Vineyard Pinot as a velvet sledgehammer, saying ‘this site has power and intensity with smooth edges.’ Aromas kick off a sweet blue fruit note with turned earth and fresh herbs accented by plenty of violets. These east-facing slopes see no afternoon sun and retain great freshness. The palate reflects those lively blue fruits, showing real depth and texture. There is fresh mint and touches of balsamic and soy umami. Seriously structured to lay down for many years.
Scented nose with wild strawberries, spiced cherries, dried herbs, baking spices and a touch of leather. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. Vivid red currant and succulent sour cherry character on the mid-palate. Juicy and focused with harmonious structure and a long, intense finish. Drink or hold.
Lush with notes of dusty earth, the deep ruby-colored 2021 Pinot Noir Jessie Vineyard is rosy and pure, with wild raspberry liqueur, anise, and orange. Medium-bodied with a focused feel, while retaining ripe red fruit, it offers fine tannins and fresh acidity throughout. It has a bit of texture that I think comes from stem tannins, but they’re ripe and well-integrated. It’s going to benefit from a few more years of bottle age. Drink 2025-2037.
