2021 Cristom Vineyards Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 750 ml

Bern’s Steakhouse in Tampa has what’s widely considered America’s most revered and extensive wine list. Certain producers have won places of honor, with dozens of selections: Dominus, Ridge, and Château Margaux, among others. 

Then there’s Cristom, who spans multiple pages on this legendary list. No American winery can boast more Pinot Noir listings.

Cristom has some of the oldest and best vineyards in Eola-Amity Hills. They’ve got winemaker Daniel Estrin, a BRILLIANT alum of Littorai and a biodynamic farming sage. Winemaker emeritus Steve Doerner enjoys near-shamanic standing among his peers after 30 harvests in Oregon, and the winery has landed on the Wine & Spirits Top 100 ELEVEN times out of the last twelve years. 

Cristom’s 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir not only contains some of their iconic Eola-Amity Hills estate fruit—Eileen, Jessie, and Louise ($75+), but 54% of it is from Feltz Vineyard, one of the oldest in Eola-Amity Hills, planted in 1973. In the PHENOMENAL 2021 vintage—one of the best in over 10 years—these sites shined.

Grape sources like this are why places like the Ritz-Carlton and the Michael Mina Group consistently glass-pour this wine—and why Thomas Keller’s Surf Club insisted on this as part of our MICHELIN Club collaboration last year. It’s exactly what we’ve come to love from Wine & Spirits magazine’s #1 restaurant Pinot producer.

An iconic winery in their 31st-anniversary year. Top estate vineyards, a stellar vintage, and legendary neighbors. Some of the most impressive winemaking chops not just in Oregon, but the West Coast. Cristom Pinot Noir is a must-have in any vintage, and this one is a standout.
