Black currant, forest floor, button mushroom, cranberry. Not only do I love the people who make this wine, I love everything Cristom does- time after time this wine never disappoints. I want to drink this with every holiday meal! #oregonpinotnoir @cristomwine #cristom #willamettevalley — 5 years ago
Quite nice. Zippy, with raspberry and cranberry. Not that complex, but very drinkable, especially with chicken. Great value at sub-$20 — 6 years ago
Very pleasant nose full of red fruit and spice. Tart cranberry dominates with cherry, black tea leaves, and black pepper shining through. Palate shows elegance and earth. Soft velvety tannins and a firm veil of acidity, the finish is long lasting. Excellent Pinot, although still a little pricey for what you get. — 8 years ago
Beautifully balanced. Little bit of cherry and cranberry. Hint of pepper. So well made. Great wine!! — 8 years ago
Wow! Such a cool wine. Ruby in color, remarkably complex nose of dried roses, pepper, cranberries, an edge of balsamic,and herbs. The palate follows nose, except that it's not over ripe like the balsamic notes would suggest. The wine displays bright red raspberry and cranberry fruit, mouth quenching acidity, and fine textured tannins. — 9 years ago
One of, if not my favorite, rioja producers. Fruit on the 03 is a bit crisper than other vintages. Cranberry, tomato (leaf?), deftly deliberate oxidation, earth and savory balsamic, all framed in lovely oak. Fine integrated tannin. Long savory finish — 9 years ago
2012 vintage cab franc :) notes of earth pepper, mushroom, citrus, grapefruit, cherry, cranberry. — 9 years ago
Tart cranberry, good earth tones, great structure, have a few more bottle, feel like they have peaked and will drink soon! — 5 years ago
Bright and vibrant. Strawberry, cranberry, cherry cola, with touch of smoke. The purity of the red fruits is the standout here. The body is a bit lean but not without substance, finishing off with lingering and authoritative mineral notes. — 6 years ago
I’d have thought I was drinking a Morgon: Pronounced earth and funk juxtaposed against bright, young red fruit—cranberry and sour cherry. My re-education on the Pacific NW is going wonderfully @Kyle Bella — 6 years ago
Fresh, lively and juicy with great acid, fine but present tannins and cherry, cranberry, sweet slice and purple flowers with a touch of earth. Yum!!! — 7 years ago
Lighter than many Beaujolais's. Cranberry, plastic, noticeable acidity but not overpowering. Nice and good price point — 7 years ago
This needs some time and it will be outstanding. Great expression of Willamette Pinot. Bing cherries, some cranberry, mushrooms, dry leaves, and some garden soil. Beautiful acidity and a nice firm frame tell me this will continue to develop nicely. Come back for a taste around 2018. — 8 years ago
2004 vintage aging glacially. Full youthful nose of cranberry, sour cherry, grapefruit zest and spice. Medium weight sweet cherry fruit with bright juicy acidity. Structure working well with still plush fruit. Tangy, long finish. This tastes so freaking young - could be a 3-4 year old wine. — 9 years ago
Super tight. Fairly rugged tannins. Probably needs a year in the bottle. Good notes of herbs and cranberry. Can be drunk now and definitely enjoyed, but give it an hour to open up a bit. — 9 years ago
Strawberry and cranberry fruit with soft and elegant structure. Lovely and reserved. — 11 years ago
Racy! A little red sports car. Highly kinetic with crunchy strawberry, cranberry, and wineberry (R. phoenicolasius) on a prominent, angular skeleton. A faint touch of barbecue spices runs the last few yards of the race as the fruit fades. Quality stuff. — 5 years ago
Citrus, cranberry, berry bramble, earthiness. Good stuff. — 6 years ago
Floral with red and black fruits and exotic spices on the nose. Medium/plus acidity and firm tannins. Alcohol is medium with visible legs. Body is medium/plus. On the palate, notes of red cherries and cranberry with some spices and a long finish. — 6 years ago

Aromatic, rich cranberry, fresh wine. Red apple. Strawberry. — 9 years ago
So fun to drink. Cranberry and mineral bomb. — 9 years ago
Bold for Beaujolais. Somewhat grippy tannins balanced by plum, cranberry flavors and a stony minerality. Medium acid keeps it lively. A very pleasant drink. — 9 years ago
Love red. acidic bright awesomeness. Notes of cherry. Reminds me of cranberry juice in the best possible way. — 10 years ago
