Domaine Drouhin Oregon, Dundee Hills (Willamette Valley, Oregon) Pinot Noir 2012

This is a ripe and forward Pinot Noir from the Domaine Drouhin Estate vineyards high in the Dundee Hills.  It impresses with red cherry and blackberry fruit aromas followed by hints of vanilla, lilac, clove and cinnamon.  On the palate, it shows pure cherry and blackberry fruit with floral tones and lively spice nuances.  It shows the generosity of the 2012 harvest and will provide delicious drinking for another 3 to 4 years.
