I love this Pinot. Pairing with Rouladen for New Year’s dinner is an absolute delight. Perfectly balanced, nice acidity, layers of red fruit. Long nose. And after visiting Drouhin in the Willamette Valley last summer, the connection to the winery adds to the allure. Happy New Year! 🍾 🍷

The 2022 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills wafts up a delicately spicy blend of dusty black cherries, ground cloves and dried roses. It is round and supple yet lifted in feel, with crisp red berry fruits elevated by a core of zesty acidity as hints of sour citrus add cheek-puckering tension. This tapers off long and perfumed with a bed of crunchy tannins that frames the experience remarkably well. I would never guess that the 2022 hails from a warm vintage.

Excellent Pinot Noir. Balance, structure and character could be mistaken for Côte d’Or. An incredibly well rounded wine absent the site particularities of some other great examples. The equivalent of a highly satisfying Village level wine.
