Cristom Vineyards 2023 Whole Cluster Pinot Noir 0%

This wine is part of Cristom Vineyard’s Whole Cluster Series, an educational tasting that shows how varying levels of whole cluster fermentation influence a wine’s character.

This 0% whole cluster Pinot Noir is all about pure fruit expression. The nose is immediately cherry-forward, ranging from fresh cherry to a sweeter, almost candy-like note. On the palate, it stays straightforward and easy, with soft tannins, gentle acidity, and a smooth texture that avoids sharp edges. The finish lingers with cherry sweetness and a lightly drying touch, keeping things simple, approachable, and fruit-driven.

“Has some acid in the finish and is drying, not as complex as you would expect a pinot noir to be.”
