2011 Cristom Vineyards Eileen Vineyard Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon

Eileen Vineyard tends to produce a wine that is the most precocious of our four estate vineyards and it's often the first wine is released into the market. It is always the wine that is shown first in a line-up of Cristom Pinot Noir. They often find them softer, meaning rounder on the palate with less minerality. Typically, Eileen is textured, layered and creamy on the palate and often recognizable by its bouquet of sweet spices.
