The 2023 Vintage:

• • In 2023, budbreak was unusually late, starting on April 30.
  • Next came an unexpected heat surge and minimal rainfall, a lasting pattern which compressed the period from budbreak to bloom to less than 45 days (a record)!
  • Our vineyards adapted well to these surprises, and when harvest started on September, the fruit looked great.
  • Towards the end of the month, we saw some significant rains.
  • The overall harvest concluded on October 5.

Tasting Notes:

• • Introducing the 2023 Cloudline Pinot Noir, a lively expression of the Willamette Valley.
  • Bursting with vibrant raspberry, cherry, and strawberry aromas, this cuvée invites you in with its fresh personality.
  • On the palate, it balances a round, velvety texture with layers of depth.
  • It’s a true welcome to Oregon’s premier wine region, full of energy and flavor.

It is simply delicious. Enjoy!

 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.
