Luke Jefferson Larry Stone Pinot Noir

Winemaker Steve Doerner has been making wine for 37 years, 14 years at Calera in California, and 23 years at Cristom in Oregon. Luke Jefferson is his new wine project with minuscule production. The wine is named as an homage to his 2-year-old son, Luke Jefferson Doerner, and is also a nod to Thomas Jefferson, who Steve admires. Steve’s spouse, Irene Steh-Doerner, is also part of the family project. The wine allows Steve to pursue making a wine that suits his personal vision and palate apart from the Cristom style.

With intoxicating notes of ripe raspberry, bright cherries, and fragrant spices, this Pinot has something very special to it. Trust us and lay this down for five years to see how it develops.
