Domaine Drouhin Oregon's Cloudline Pinot Noir is an elegant North American wine showcasing a delightful balance of fruit and spices. This dark ruby-coloured gem carries nuanced notes of ripe cherry, blackberry and a hint of spicy clove. Brushes of vanilla and earthy undertones ensure a complex palate. It’s impressively smooth, with velvety tannins and lingering finish, somewhat similar to the foggy 'cloudline' that defines Oregon's weather. It's woven with French winemaking techniques, reinforcing Drouhin's belief in combining tradition with the freedom of innovation—a classy companion to roasted poultry or fish dishes.

Tasting Notes

Lustrous garnet in colour, with aromas of red cherries, plums and light spices that leap from the glass. The palate is fresh and fruit-driven, with a silky mouthfeel and layers of complexity. Simply delicious!
