Domaine Drouhin Oregon Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2021
In 1988, the Domaine Drouhin Classique Pinot Noir was the first wine produced by the Drouhin Family in Oregon. Three decades later, this cuvée has become a foundational element of many great wine lists and personal cellars. The fruit is harvested entirely from the family’s Dundee Hills estate, and the wine is vinified in the Drouhin family style with a focus on elegance, balance and finesse. The 2021 Domaine Drouhin Oregon Pinot Noir Dundee Hills is youthful and bright. On the nose, the wine is bursting with black cherry and ripe sour cherry tones, with hints of dried violets and lightly roasted coffee beans. The palate confirms the nose with added notes of fresh raspberry, cranberry, and a decidedly earthy touch. This wine is lovely, vibrant, and elegant now, but will be in a perfect place with 5 – 12 years of cellaring.
