Cristom Vineyards, founded in 1992 by Paul and Eileen Gerrie in Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills AVA, is celebrated for its exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other varietals like Viognier and Syrah. The estate spans 102.4 acres with vineyards named after family matriarchs—Marjorie (the oldest, planted in 1982), Louise, Jessie, and Eileen—each expressing unique terroir influenced by volcanic soils and the cooling Van Duzer Corridor breezes. Winemaker Steve Doerner, a pioneer in Oregon’s wine scene, employs traditional Burgundian techniques like whole-cluster fermentation and native yeasts, while the estate embraces sustainable practices, including LIVE certification and biodynamic farming. Cristom’s wines, particularly its single-vineyard Pinot Noirs, are praised for their elegance, complexity, and aging potential. The winery offers immersive tasting experiences, from vineyard tours to seated flights, showcasing its commitment to craftsmanship and place. Under second-generation leader Tom Gerrie and with the expertise of Daniel Estrin, Cristom continues to innovate while honoring its legacy as a benchmark for Oregon wines.
