For the wine snob: J. Christopher is a small winery located in Oregon’s Northern Willamette Valley, with a focus on expressive Pinot Noir made using the patient, unhurried approach of the Old World. Owned by renowned Mosel winegrower, Ernst “Erni” Loosen (of the Dr. Loosen estate), the winery’s hand-crafted wines are made from fruit grown in our own estate Appassionata Vineyard, as well as other excellent vineyards in the Willamette Valley. With a deep commitment to environmentally sustainable farming and production practices, J. Christopher strives to produce terroir-driven wines in an Old World style that emphasizes focus, length and balance.
For the rest of us: 100% Pinot Noir, This second-label Willamette Valley wine is a blend of barrels from the three appellations where we have long-standing grower relations. Ripe, richly fruity, and with a fine tannin structure, J.J is a juicy introduction to the world of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.
