Drouhin Oregon Roserock Zephirine Pinot Noir 2022

Take the '22 base model then build and stretch its foundation with layers of silky depth, concentration, and intrigue. A sappy, uniquely-Pinot intensity enters the picture and coats your tastebuds delicately yet persistently. 97 points Jeb Dunnuck: "A richer red hue, the 2022 Pinot Noir Zephine Roserock 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." 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. Drink now through 2032." 2019 vintage notes 97 points The Win
