A fantastic new Pinot Noir from Domaine Drouhin's new property in Oregon. Limited.

97 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "A richer red hue, the 2022 Pinot Noir Zephine Roserock From Domaine Drouhin is also more floral and has some savory elements, but it also has a more pronounced dark stone mineral tone, with violets, black raspberries, tea leaf, and toasted spices. Medium-bodied, it’s ripe but has fantastic linear drive through its floral-noted finish, and the lift almost suggests whole cluster, yet it’s entirely destemmed. Drink it over the next 15 or more years."

97 Points International Wine Review "Editor's Choice": "One of the better wines that I’ve had from Roserock, this one the 2022 Zéphrine Pinot Noir. I gravitate towards wines from the Eola-Amity as I feel they are a little more elegant, fresh, and fruit-forward than their counterparts from other AVAs. Sporting a gorgeous medium ruby-purple core with a blue rim in the glass, the bountiful notes of mountain blueberries, blue plum skin, sweet allspice, Meyer lemon zest, toasted almonds, and cedary herbs take things to another level. Tannins are crunchy and incredibly balanced with near-perfect levels of acidity while the finish goes on forever. Better in 2025. Highly recommended."

94 Points Wine Spectator: "This version is loaded with tension and tightly structured at this point, but also dynamic with cherry and blueberry flavors that are laced with clove, cardamom and other dusky spices as this builds tension toward refined tannins."

From the Oregon outpost of the hallowed Domaine Drouhin in Burgundy, this is a super-refined and fragrant Pinot Noir from the edge of the Eola-Amity Hills appellation. According to the estate, "Our Zéphirine Pinot Noir is a barrel selection cuvée from the Roserock vineyard, and is a reference expression of the site. Zéphirine conveys purity and beauty, reflects winemaker Véronique Drouhin’s dedication to elegance and finesse, and will age meaningfully for years to come. The name refers to the Zéphirine Drouhin variety of climbing rose, which is known for its fragrance and beauty."
