J. Christopher Pinot Noir 2014

The Pinot Noir 2014 is the flagship J. Christopher wine, representing the overall nature of the vintage in the northern Willamette Valley, rather than a specific vineyard or appellation. It is a cuvée of barrels from three AVAs: Dundee Hills, Chehalem Mountains and Eola-Amity Hills.

This cuvée is a blend of selected barrels from several excellent vineyard sites in the red Jory clay of the Dundee Hills AVA. It shows the depth and power that are typical of this area, with classic savory and sanguine notes and a seamless acid structure.
