Cristom, Pinot Noir "Jessie", 2022
Perched on the steepest, most dramatic slope of the Cristom estate, Jessie Vineyard delivers the most muscular and brooding expression of Pinot Noir in the lineup. Planted in 1994 across a mosaic of volcanic soil exposures, it’s named for founder Paul Gerrie’s mother and stands as a cornerstone of Cristom’s identity.
The 2022 vintage is rich and intense yet impeccably balanced. Aromatics of black cherry, dark raspberry, violets, and baking spice rise from the glass, underpinned by savory herbs and a distinct mineral edge. The palate is firm and deeply layered—generous fruit wrapped in fine-grained tannins, energized by the whole-cluster lift that’s signature to the house style. It’s a wine that carries its weight with grace.
Fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak (about 50% new), Jessie 2022 is built to age—decant now for a bold, expressive glass or cellar confidently for 10–20 years. Pair with game, grilled mushrooms, or richer dishes that match its scale. This is Cristom at full volume—expressive, structured, and volcanic to the core.
