Because you were wondering, the name of this vineyard, “Roserock”, came from William Hill who planted it and thought the red soils of the Eola-Amity Hills reminded him of his home state of Oklahoma’s state rock, the “Rose Rock” (pictured below) . It’s those same red soils that give this wine it’s defining grace and elegance. Domaine Drouhin purchased the Roserock property in 2013, already knowing it’s potential since they previously purchased fruit from its vineyards to go into other DDO wines. With the vineyard purchase, they decided to make a completely unique label apart from the standard Domaine Drouhin wines. Pinot lovers everywhere should be really glad they did, too! I like to say wines are either a chore to drink or a pleasure to drink and for under $40, you WILL NOT find a more pleasurable Pinot! Loads of bright, ripe fruit, silky smooth tannins… it has an almost “candied” consistency without being sweet at all. Serve it at the ideal 55-60 degrees and this baby will absolutely sing in the glass!!!
"Medium ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir surprises with its concentration of cranberry and spice, pennyroyal and tobacco leaves, its autumnal character notably pure this vintage. Medium-bodied, it has a slender frame that supports incredible depth of fruit, finishing with persistent spice and energy. Such a beautiful expression!" WA
"This version is defined by a beam of vibrant acidity and tannins framed by refined blueberry and cherry flavors, accented by stony minerality and dusky spiced tea. Drink now through 2031. " WS
