title: Cristom 1998 Louise Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: Dark in color, almost pure purple; the bouquet carries some heavy oak, with aromas of toast and vanilla. It’s also a little sauvage. Rich and chocolaty, but also quite sweet. It’s deep and woody overall—the vanilla and oak are very prominent, maybe too much so for many people.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Louise Vineyard
