Cristom Vineyards

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.
Cristom's expression of Oregon's terroir is fascinating, and the wines are carefully crafted. These are food wines, in a more French than California style, with great aging potential.
