Cristom Gathering Kits
A new at-home tasting experience from Cristom
To celebrate “gathering season,” that time of year when we welcome friends and family into our homes, we curated “Gathering Kits” to enjoy an entertaining and educational tasting experience in your own living room.
Each kit includes two, three, or five wines with shipping included, accompanied by downloadable experiential tasting mats, ideal for blind tastings, and educational materials to expand your wine knowledge or simply enjoy a thoughtfully selected set of wines with rich stories behind them.
Whole Cluster Series Pinot Noir Kit
The Whole Cluster Series offers an educational opportunity to understand the intention behind our Craftsmanship.
The series represents three fermentations, all from the same block of our estate Louise Vineyard, with one important variable isolated: varying levels—0%, 50%, and 100%—of whole clusters in a fermenter.
Evaluate how this classic winemaking method adds complexity to the wine and how it manifests on the nose and the palate.

Clonal Series Pinot Noir Kit
Clonal diversity is crucial to the uniqueness of Cristom’s estate vineyards and its Pinot Noir expressions.
This series of micro-lot wines allows us to examine how isolated Pinot Noir clones from one estate site result in different wine expressions. For the inaugural 2022 vintage, we focused on three clones from our Eileen Vineyard: 114, 777, and Wädenswil.
Learn more about each clone’s typical expressions with our Clonal Series Introduction
