| Description: | Wine Spectator #16 Wine Of 2023!. Wine Spectator's "Top 100" list creates more buzz than a beehive. Consumers and industry folk alike scramble to get some of the wines that are mentioned on this list, and quite often several of the wines are sold out before the list is released. However, in a wonderful turn of events, the #16 wine on Wine Spectator's list just got released, and we have it for you !. 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 Drouhin's 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, and settled 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. Named after her eldest daughter, Laurne is their flagship wine, and is comprised of barrels which have extra complexity, length, and depth. This is a wine that is requested all year long here at Hi-Time, but we typically only have it for a few short months. On top of that the 2021 vintage is being heavily touted by the critics, and our buyer thinks this is the best Laurne he's ever tasted!. This wonderful Pinot Noir just landed, and not only did it receive a 95-point score from Wine Spectator, but it's also their #16 wine of 2023 ! Our allocation just landed, and we feel this will be a fantastic gift for any wine lover, or even a great accompaniment for your holiday meal. But don't hesitate.as this wine sells out every year, and this release is sure to enjoy the same destiny!. Wine Spectator 95 Points - "Rich and detailed, with a deep but graceful structure, offering rose petal, raspberry, orange peel and dusky spice flavors that build tension and polish toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2032. 3,029 cases made." |
