94 Points Antonio Galloni: Deep red. Hugely aromatic bouquet evokes ripe red fruits, incense and Asian spices, along with a bright mineral overtone. Juicy and precise on the palate, offering sweet raspberry preserve, rose pastille and spice cake flavors that deepen and spread out with air. Delivers a suave blend of power and elegance, finishing with harmonious tannins and remarkable clarity and length.
"The Louise Vineyard Pinot Noir is more heavily textured, dark-fruited and more concentrated in flavor than the other single vineyard Cristom Pinot Noirs. The wine has flavors of creamy-mocha latte notes on the bouquet co-mingling with dark red fruits that are reminiscent of fresh mulberries, very ripe blackberries, plums and black cherries along with hints of chocolate. Louise has a delightful velvet texture and a full and persistent finish." -Winemaker
