Winemaker Notes
When founders Paul and Eileen Gerrie purchased the estate in 1992, there was an existing vineyard with tremendous potential planted in the mid-slope of the east facing site. Paul renamed the vineyard Marjorie after his mother and the first single vineyard wine was produced from the 1994 vintage. The Marjorie vineyard sits in the center of the Cristom Estate with a gentle slope from 480 feet to 600 feet over some of the most consistent volcanic soils on the entire Estate. A little bit unique to itself, most of the Vineyard is planted over a moderately deep volcanic soil with some very rocky areas in the north and southeast corners. The vineyard wants to produce elegant wines of finesse with bright red fruit and succulent acidity.
