Domaine Drouhin
RoseRock Pinot Noir
Eola - Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
When a friends texts and asks if you want tuna from his trip, the answers are; yes, please, Poke sounds good, and what should I drink w this?
Looks like Drouhin OR's Roserock with a little bottle age. Nose is tart red strawberry and orange oil, hibiscus tea. Medium bodied with fine tannins that leave a slightly astringent finish. Should have just the right heft to cut the richness of the tuna.

Drouhin Oregon Roserock is the newest chapter in the Drouhin story, extending from Burgundy's Cote d’Or and Chablis, to the Dundee Hills of Oregon, and now Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills. Drouhin Oregon Roserock continues a four-generation story that began in 1880 when Joseph Drouhin moved from Chablis to Beaune, in the heart of Burgundy. First vintage, light red, focused fruit aromas, red fruits on the palate, zesty acidity, fine tannins good balance lingering finish. Put another in the cellar for later.

Aug 29th, 2017Aptly named, Drouhin's Rose Rock Pinot Noir hails from a parcel seated at the southern tip of the Eola-Amity Hills, the grapes harvested from this site are grown in ancient volcanic soils and benefit from the cooling Van Duzer winds. Blithe floral notes; a bouquet of wild roses, lavender, lilac, dust, anise, spice, and crushed stones lead into a wine with arching acidity that spreads languidly across the palate amidst black fruit notes, fine tannins, high-toned cranberries and toast. 14.1% ABV

Solid, great floral essence, has a lot of rose petals, dried lavender, mineral essence of river stones, a bit of burn, affirms it's a 14%+ Pinot, and some spice. Palate is silky, red fruit driven with a bit of rhubarb pie sitting in there. Totally worth the money, at around $34-36. Good value Pinot.

Nose: blood orange, cranberry, dried leaves, clove, rose petal, and stems. Nose confirms the palate. Med acid, velvety tannins. Definitely has a few more years under its belt.
