Cristom’s 2010 Pinot Noir Louise Vineyard – due the differences in inclination and exposure – is often in part the first and in part the last Cristom vineyard picked, and it was both this year, coming in on October 16th and then again on the 29th. Fresh and confitured cherries are infused with their pits; blond tobacco; and crushed stone. Firm in feel and gripping in finishing intensity, this is another 2010 that reminds me of many 2011s in its energy as well as specifically in notes of sassafras and ginger. It is likely to need more time than its stable mates to unfold. But there is fine structure and energy to support more than a decade’s aging.
