About Our Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir (V’23)
-
- Our Roserock Pinot Noir is a cuvée selection from the estate’s 35 blocks, which are handpicked, sorted and individually fermented.
- While Pinot Noirs from the Eola-Amity Hills are typically known for their structure and power, Véronique Drouhin emphasizes Roserock’s elegant and refined qualities, making for a delicious and ageworthy cuvée.
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.

Véronique’s Tasting Notes
-
-
Our 2023 Roserock Pinot Noir radiates warmth and energy within its bright ruby hue.
-
The nose is alive with vibrant tart cherry and orange-cranberry notes, balanced by an earthy undertone.
-
Cascading dark fruits unfold on the palate, accented by hints of baking spice, stone, and delicate floral notes.
-
Structured and refined, this Pinot Noir is a delight now and will continue to gain depth and complexity over the next 8-12 years.
