Alcohol: 13.5 %
Grape(s): Pinot Noir
Location: Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Tasting Notes: Captures the purity and tension of the Eola-Amity Hills estate. Aromas of black cherry, violet and raspberry rise from the glass, then a graceful, dynamic palate with multilayered raspberry and blueberry, fresh violet, orange peel and cinnamon building richness and tension toward a long finish.
Notes: Estate fruit from Roserock in the Eola-Amity Hills, planted on volcanic Nekia soils and swept by the afternoon Van Duzer winds that define the site's freshness. Whole-cluster fermentation and indigenous yeasts, then about 14 months in French oak, roughly 40% of it new.
Food Pairing: Duck, seared salmon, mushroom risotto, pork loin and braised veal.
Winery Story: Roserock is Domaine Drouhin Oregon's southern estate, acquired in 2013 in the Eola-Amity Hills and farmed LIVE certified. The Drouhin family brings Burgundian patience to the site, producing a Pinot Noir with the elegance and lift that are their signature.
