Wine Notes:
At Cristom Vineyards, we believe that achieving complexity through diversity is the key to exceptional wine. The challenge in this pursuit is the integration of that diversity in a way that is seamless and organic. By including an array of various Pinot Noir clones in a single fermentation vessel, we find that the distinct attributes of individual clones have time to coalesce, harmonize and evolve together. This approach results in a wine of remarkable depth and nuance, far surpassing the individual contributions of each clone. The “Spice of Life” ¡Salud! Cuvée is an embodiment of this philosophy. This cuvée, crafted from select barrels of estate-grown, co-fermented Pommard, 113, 114, 115, 667, and 777 Pinot Noir clones, reflects our ongoing pursuit of seamlessly integrated complexity in our wines.
