title: J. Christopher 2010 Nuages Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
description: A blend of grapes from several vineyards, this is named for a famous jazz tune. The blending both softens and expands the mid-palate, and seems to have boosted the aging curve. It's ready to drink, with strawberry fruit, a dusting of cocoa, a hint of wet cement, and a finish with cola and sassafras.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Nuages
