There's a focus and precision to this pinot with refined tannins and beautiful fruit. A medium to full body characterised a firm, polished and tight center palate of fruit and tannins. Drink now. James Suckling

The strikingly vivid and dark array of red fruits, including black cherry, black raspberry, pomegranate, and cranberry, flirt and fight with the densest of rose petals ever come across, while a soundtrack of potpourri keeps the fire stoked. This is the work of the red Jory. Intoxicatingly simple and simply intoxicating.

Enigmatic as all Véronique Boss-Drouhin's wines are, the 2014 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir boasts freshness and poise in a ripe vintage year. Crushed lavender, cocoa powder, dried mint, underbrush, and an alluring array of red fruits lead into a wine that is medium-bodied and neatly trussed in fine tannins. White pepper and earth emerge at the close. Sample

Youthful and aromatic! Notes of Cherry, spices, forest floor, moss, cranberry and raspberry. This was a very tasty wine that will do well with age!

Less lively of a nose than the Eola-Amity hills pinot, but complex none the less - cocoa powder, fresh violets, damp gravel dust, and strawberry/rhubarb jam. Pallet reveals round structure and preferred acid, faint reminders of pommard, but much more of the classic Oregon flair - raspberry, cloves, dried lavender, raw mushroom, and a touch out sweet fruit to the finish. Try in 5 more years is what I think.. $45

Lovely. Cherry cola, bramble, vanilla, prune. Quite ripe, somewhat earthy.

Strawberries and cherries. Not hugely complex but very easy drinking. Some oak on the finish. No tannin.

One of the very best. Some bottle age has helped tame the primary fruit, but plenty of structure persists to balance the dark cherry & summer red berry notes. Drouhin continues to make some of my favorite wine from Oregon every vintage. Beautiful stuff.
