I have had Cristom's Pinot Noir before, but like you it has been several years ago and I can't remember well enough to say how they compare. Thanks for the reminder on that one though as I will have to remember to check it out again next time I am back over in the Willamette Valley.
I moved from the Portland area about 4 1/2 years ago and have taken a long break from Pinot Noir as that was all I was drinking for a while over there. I'm getting back into them again here lately and enjoying it! My other current favorite Oregon wineries are Archery Summit, Domaine Serene, King Estate, Maysara, and Dobbes Family Estate.
