Sourced from the finest five acres of our estate vineyard in Oregon’s Yamhill-Carlton AVA, this Pinot Noir brings together varieties of grapes that express the character of our site. Dry-farmed on steep marine sedimentary slopes surrounded by native forest and wildlife corridors, the vineyard yields fruit of remarkable concentration, freshness, and complexity.
This vintage marks our third release and our first crafted at Carlton Winemakers Studio.
The 2024 Estate Pinot Noir opens with aromas of red and blue fruits, crushed flowers, mocha, wet stone, and baking spice. The palate is silky and layered, revealing notes of raspberry, cherry, and plum framed by fine tannins and vibrant acidity. Both generous and precise, the wine carries its fruit through a long, energetic finish marked by elegance, minerality, and lift.
Building on the success of our first two vintages—which earned scores of up to 94 points and recognition from Wine Enthusiast, Northwest Wine Guide, and Wine Spectator—the 2024 continues the evolution of Kristof Pinot Noir, bringing even greater finesse and site expression while retaining the vibrancy that has become a hallmark of the vineyard.
