-
-
The 2024 Cloudline Pinot Noir is a bright, inviting introduction to Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

Brilliant garnet in the glass, it opens with vivid notes of cranberry, cherry compote, and hibiscus tea, with a touch of cracked pepper.
-
The palate is sleek, energetic and layered, with flavors of wild strawberry, pomegranate and red currant over a gentle undercurrent of minerality and spice.

Silky tannins and juicy acidity keep things lively through a clean, polished finish.
Effortless, vibrant, definitely Oregon and unmistakably Drouhin!

2022 Cloudline Cellars Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, $17:
From a four-figure grand cru Burgundy to a sub-$20 wine from Oregon, the Drouhin family of Maison Joseph Drouhin, based in France’s Beaune region, knows how to produce good Pinot Noir. According to winemaker Véronique Boss-Drouhin, the family created the Cloudline label more than 20 years ago in response to its American distributor’s request for a wine that would showcase Oregon Pinot Noir at an affordable price point. (Domaine Drouhin Oregon was already making pricier Oregon Pinots.) The endeavor clearly succeeded judging by this pretty Pinot, marked by bright acidity and silky tannins.
