Educational Pinot Noir Collection

Cristom’s Educational Pinot Noirs invite exploration into the intention behind our winemaking. Through micro-lot bottlings that isolate key variables—such as whole-cluster inclusion and clonal selection—these wines reveal how nuanced choices in the vineyard and cellar shape expression in the glass.

The Whole Cluster Series offers a rare opportunity to taste the influence of stem inclusion in fermentation, featuring three wines from the same block of our Estate Louise Vineyard made with 0%, 50%, and 100% whole clusters. The Clonal Series highlights the diversity within Pinot Noir itself, examining how individual clones from a single estate site yield distinct aromatic and textural profiles.

Available individually or as curated Gathering Kits, these wines provide a unique comparative tasting experience—an immersive way to deepen your understanding of Cristom’s craftsmanship and the many dimensions of Pinot Noir.
