2023 Cristom Estate Pinot Noir PAUL GERRIE Eola-Amity Hills

Named after Cristom’s founder, Paul Gerrie Vineyard is a consistent, gentle sloping bench of deep volcanic soil just to the north of the original estate in the Eola Hills. For over twenty years, founder Paul Gerrie dreamt of acquiring the land and made the purchase shortly before his retirement in 2012, capping his legacy with Cristom Vineyards.

With an unwavering commitment to grow estate fruit, we have been developing Paul Gerrie Vineyard since 2014 to be the cornerstone of Cristom’s future. The site combines some of the greatest aspects of the Cristom Estate — deep volcanic soils, bracing winds, and high elevation — into a single vineyard. It represents the culmination of knowledge gained from three decades of farming in the Eola-Amity Hills.

The 22 acres of Pinot Noir produce a wine with powerful tannins, lively acidity, and persistent juicy, minerally, and spicy flavors.
