"Marjorie Vineyard" Pinot Noir 2021

The famed Marjorie Vineyard boasts Cristom’s oldest estate plantings, predating the company back to 1982. Marjorie is distinctive at Cristom both for being own-rooted, and for its lower-density plantings, (605 vines/acre; 1,495 vines/hectacre), with 6 feet between vines and 12 feet between rows. Because of these low density plantings, Marjorie is left with 18-22 clusters per vine, each weighing 70 - 80 grams/cluster depending on the vintage – a testament that this vineyard produces very small, highly concentrated clusters, and exceptionally dramatic wines.
