2019 Domain Drouhin Oregon Lauréne Pinot Noir USA

GW says: The Drouhin family, best known for their work in their native region of Burgundy see the perfect marriage between US Pinot Noir and Burgundian soul. The estate, which is managed by Véronique Drouhin, centres on a patchwork of hillside vines in Oregon’s Red Hills, which produce two acclaimed Pinot Noirs cuvées and a limited amount of Chardonnay.

Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

Appearance: Deep ruby red

Aroma: Dense, with notes of pure, sweet cherry, pomegranate, baking spice, ripe blackberries, wild herbs, and fresh sage.

Palete: A palate of great complexity and purity of texture.
