J. Christopher is owned by Ernst ‘Erni’ Loosen, the internationally acclaimed winemaker behind Germany’s Dr. Loosen and Villa Wolf estates. Erni has a lifelong passion for Pinot Noir, and he recognized in the early 1990s that there was something very special going on here in Oregon’s Willamette Valley.
This red wine is a blend from excellent vineyards in three of the Willamette Valley’s AVAs: Dundee Hills, Chehalem Mountains and Eola-Amity Hills. Made with native yeast fermentations and up to 18 months of barrel time, this is classic Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
