Cristom Vineyards
makes a very small production of very fine wines. Experienced winemaker
Steve
Doermer blends contemporary technology with age-old winemaking traditions.
Native yeasts transform the juice into wine. Gravity guides it from tank
to barrel. The rich, new wine is allowed to mature slowly in cool, subterranean
cellars. The wines are unfiltered. Only the finest barrels are blended
into finished wines.

are carefully crafted. These are food wines, in a more French than California
style, with great aging potential. About the Winery
