Region
Oregon is a fairly young winemaking region, first coming onto the international wine map in the late 1960`s. It is regarded as a world class wine region responsible for making many of America`s best quality wines. Oregon is famed for its Pinot Noir`s which are often compared to some of the finest red`s of Burgundy.
Producer
The Drouhin family are famed for making fine wines in some of Burgundy`s best vineyards for more than a century. They have taken this rich winemaking history and applied it to their estate in the Dundee Hills of Oregon which was establishd in he late 1980`s. They make high quality wines with the philosophy of `French soul, Oregon soil`.
Tasting Notes
This Oregon Pinot Noir is a deep ruby red in colour. The nose has aromas of black cherries, plums and cinnamon spice. The palate is medium bodied with a silky and elegant mouthfeel and flavours of black cherries, vanilla, white pepper and subtle spices. Medium grip tannins provide structure and weight and the fruity notes linger on the finish.
Food
Enjoy alongside roasted chicken, turkey or pork.
