Willamette Valley
Pinot Noir

 

 

DESCRIPTION:

• • Created in 2002 by Dreyfus Ashby.
  • Always elegant, authentic Oregon Pinot Noir that would be approachable young.
  • All fruit is sourced from low-yield vineyards in the Willamette Valley.
  • 25% of the fruit comes from the famous Roserock Vineyard.
  • Since its debut, Cloudline has quietly become one of Oregon’s most successful brands.
  • Cloudline’s reputation is that of high-quality and value.
  • From the beginning, the Cloudline wines have been a hit with wine lovers in the U.S., and can now also be found in Brazil, Canada, Japan, Norway and Sweden.

The 2022 Vintage: 

• • 2022 started with an unconventional April frost and then a slow push after budbreak, putting us 2-3 weeks behind in many vineyards.
  • Spring humidity caused headaches, but vigilant farming and sunny summer skies prevailed, leading us into a more classic early October harvest and the gorgeous, complex 2022 vintage.

GRAPE VARIETY:

• • 100% Pinot Noir

FOOD PAIRINGS:

• • Pinot Noir is well-suited to pair with poultry, beef, fish, ham, lamb and pork.
  • It will play well with creamy sauces, spicy seasonings and may just be one of the world’s most versatile food wines.

TASTING NOTES:

• • Introducing the 2022 Cloudline Pinot Noir, our vibrant Willamette Valley cuvée.
  • Fresh, fruit forward and inviting, it brings fresh personality and lovely raspberry, cherry, and strawberry aromatics.
  • The mix of roundness, depth and a hint of fruit tartness plays well on the palate, creating a delightful, velvety touch.

This is a wine that welcomes you to the premier Oregon wine growing region with gusto.

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.
