The 2005 Pinot Noir “Mt. Jefferson Cuvee” is medium ruby-colored. It presents an attractive perfume of fragrant red cherry, raspberry and spice box. This leads to a medium-bodied wine with a solid core of spicy red fruits, slightly elevated acidity, and a firm structure. The wine is nicely balanced and should evolve for several years, but can be enjoyed now. Tel. (503) 375-3068; www.cristomwines.com.
