The Wine

After founding Cristom Vineyards in 1992, Paul Gerrie named the highest point of the Cristom estate in honor of his wife, Eileen, and began planting her vineyard to a variety of clones that would thrive in the direct winds of the Van Duzer Corridor. Nearly two decades later, Paul and Eileen’s son, second-generation winegrower Tom Gerrie, named Cristom’s newest vineyard in honor of his father, Paul. Our 2018 Gerrie Family Legacy Cuvée pays loving tribute to our founders, and all that their vision has allowed Cristom Vineyards to achieve.

The Winery

Cristom Vineyards began over a quarter of a century ago as a collaboration between an engineer and a biochemist who each possessed a deep-rooted respect for the land, the natural winemaking process, and Pinot noir. 27 years later, second-generation owner/winegrower Tom Gerrie leads winemaker Steve Doerner, vineyard manager and co-winemaker Daniel Estrin and our tenured viticulture team in tending our estate vineyards, producing elegant, dynamic wines, recognizable by our hallmark style of whole-cluster fermentation by native yeasts and minimal intervention during the winemaking process.
