Description
94 points Wine Spectator
"Supple and elegantly structured, with detailed raspberry and cherry flavors accented by rose petal, brown baking spices and orange peel as this glides toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2032."

"Wonderfully fruit-driven Pinot Noir from the Eola-Amity Hills, Roserock estate. Ripe bing cherry flesh, Chinese five-spice aromas and smoky clove spices come to the fore. The palate is richly fruited, with spiced berries, red plums and ripe, rich blackberries with a hint of dried anise and black tea to finish."
Vinous Reverie Notes
Domaine Drouhin is the Oregon outpost of Burgundy’s Maison Joseph Drouhin. While most of the estate vineyards are in the Dundee Hills, Roserock Vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills has become increasingly key to the winery’s success since the Drouhins purchased the 122-acre vineyard in 2013. Véronique Boss-Drouhin, who oversees winemaking operations in both Burgundy and Oregon, blended a selection from the vineyard’s 35 individual blocks, which she fermented separately. Eola-Amity Pinot Noirs are known for their powerful structure, but Boss-Drouhin strives to accentuate the house’s graceful style. This 2022 aged in French oak barrels (20 percent of which were new) for 10 months.
