2019 Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir Dundee Hills
The gold standard of the Dundee Hills knocked it out of the park again in 2019! How could they not, with almost 30-year-old vines? Plush New World Fruit meets an Old World touch! Give this wine at least 5-8 years in your cellar before cracking it; DDO wines are built to age!
Wine Advocate
The 2019 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills is defined, expressive and layered, with pure lavender, peppercorn and wild berry aromas and a velvety texture with bursts of freshness that highlight floral perfume and an array of spicy accents on the extended finish.
James Suckling
A very pretty combination of dried berries, smoke and cedar with some dried flowers, following through to a medium body, a solid core of fruit and a round yet firm, tannic finish. Young, but so attractive. Give it two or three years to open.
Wine Spectator
Sleek and elegantly layered, with bright cherry and raspberry flavors accented by black tea and stony mineral notes that glide toward the long, vibrant finish.
Wine Enthusiast
This young wine remains stiff and herbal, with brambly berry fruit in the background. The tannins are still a bit abrasive and will need further bottle age to smooth out. The overall mix of raspberry fruit, tart acidity and pungent herb suggests that with time this will evolve into a most complex and interesting bottle.
