The Dundee Hills Pinot Noir is complex and beautiful. Its nose reveals rhubarb, dried violets, black tea, and plum, accented by a subtle hint of oak. The palate unfolds with notes of sour cherries, white pepper, stone fruits, and earth undertones. While youthful, it showcases a lovely balance between tannins, the bright lift of vibrant red fruits and acidity. It will be exciting to watch this wine evolve over the next 5-15 years.
Domaine Drouhin Description
Our Pinot Noir is handpicked into 25-pound totes, then hand-sorted and de-stemmed in our four level gravity flow winery. Fermentations are long and careful; by November, all of our Pinot was safely resting in barrel. Our barrels are custom made in Burgundy, using oak from France’s best forests, allowing the character of the soil and vintage to show through.
James Suckling: 95 Points
A deep, serious and structured wine that’s quietly powerful and age-worthy at a reasonable price. Tightly woven tannins, black fruit, bracing acidity and an elegant mouthfeel. Reserved in a good way, it is drinkable now.

Editors’ Choice
Each glass swirl propels smoked raspberries, cool cellar floor earth, Darjeeling tea and talc aromas. Velvety tannins exercise a subtle grip, and lemony acidity makes the mouth water. The wine's flavors are a mix of black cherry, bergamot orange and light touches of oak spice. There's a purity of fruit here that, when combined with an elegant mouthfeel, makes for a memorable sipping experience.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Well-sculpted and elegantly dynamic, with lilting raspberry and pomegranate flavors laced with green tea, rose petal and savory spice accents. Ends with fine-grained tannins.
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2023 Pinot Noir Dundee hills bursts from the glass with a vividly ripe mix of crushed blackberries, raspberries, licorice and clove. Wild berry fruits unfold across the palate, subtly offset by crunchy mineral tones as an air of violet pastille amasses toward the close. The finish shows chewy length while remaining fresh.
