| Description: | #8 on Hi-Time's North American Reds of 2024. It seems that families whose names are well-established in other wine regions have been flocking to Oregon's Willamette Valley lately. However, it was the Drouhins who were the first Burgundy family to stake a major claim into this now world-renowned wine region back in 1987. After tasting a wine from pioneer David Lett, Robert Drouhin was intrigued by the region, and settle on this region for his next Pinot Noir venture. Poised atop the Dundee Hills, with gentle slopes that capture the breezes and sunshine, this 235-acre estate overlooking the Willamette Valley produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that rival some of the best in the world. With its red volcanic soils, cool nights, warm days and elongated growing season, grapes from this property are destined for greatness. The property is now headed by Veronique-Boss Drouhin, who is part of the 4th generation of Drouhin winemakers. The wines of Domaine Drouhin have exceptional complexity, length, and depth, and the 2021 vintage is being heavily touted by all of the more respected critics. Our buyer thinks this is the best rendition of this wine he's ever tasted, and Jeb Dunnuck rated this at 96 points !. Jeb Dunnuck 96 Points - "Moving to the Domaine Drouhin Oregon lineup from the Dundee Hills, the 2021 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills is ripe with ripe black cherry, fresh licorice, and dark stone. Lush and inviting, with ripe structure and broad shoulders, it is flush with a ripe, meaty texture and warming spice. Allow it another couple of years in the cellar. This is an age-worthy wine to drink 2025-2037." |
