| | With Copper River king salmon. Great match. Black cherry, cloves and a hint of vanilla. 13.7% alcohol. Most of the grapes form the Eola Hills area. Wood very much out of the picture, inspite of 17 months in 2/3rds new french oak. Great finish and mouth feel. A winner. WS (Harvey) gave it a 90. He got one right. If you have it, it's time has come. | | | |

| We tasted the '00 at the winery and I thought it needed time:

| Board O, I agree that Cristom's wines need time. I'm sitting on 5 bottles of their 1999 Salud! Cuvee and probably won't drink another one for at least another year.
When I ask winemakers here who they think is the best winemaker in the state they almost always say Steve Doerner. | |

| | Thanks for the TN - 2 years ago, we had a bottle of this on the weekend of our engagement at Ray's Boathouse in Seattle with Copper River salmon. It was a fantastic match. | | | |

| We drank most of our 99 Cristom Reserve in the last two years. It is gone but will not be forgotten. Wonderful wine with Salmon.

| CT's drinkability mentions up to 2013.
I can't predict this kind of window since I'm drinking a 375 ml. Still, there is a nice depth to this wine. Nice aromas of black cherry, black berry, and mushroom flavors. Ripe black cherry flavors with a little citrus zest on finish. | |
