Domaine Drouhin
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Was surprised by how light the ruby color was in the glass. Understated and quite complex. Tight nose of cherry and pine cone initially and then opened up to tea, tobacco and oak. Tart. Gripping finish. Alcohol seems to be on the higher side.

Candied fruit, herbaceous, black currant leaf on the nose; good structure, good grip and balance with notes of black and blue berries on the palate, long finish

Cherries, violets, rose petals. Light and elegant with a fair amount of acidity. #chairmansselection PA $19.99

Lots of plum on the nose, some peppery in the palate. Smoke too, particularly the latter part of the palate. Really nice!

More fruit forward than I expected. Seemed one dimensional but I will blame that on my cold and a non-functioning sniffer.
