Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
Country
United States
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
Region
Oregon
The beautiful state of Oregon has, over the past few decades, become increasingly well known and respected for its wine industry, with several small but significant wineries within the state receiving world wide attention for the quality of their produce. Whilst the first vineyards within Oregon were planted in the 1840s, the state's wine industry didn't really take off until the 1960s, when several wine producers from California discovered that the cooler regions of the state were ideal for cultivating various fine grape varietals. Today, Oregon has over four hundred and fifty wineries in operation, the vast majority of which are used for the production of wines made from Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir varietal grapes, both of which thrive in the valleys and mountainsides which characterise the landscape of the state.
Appellation
Willamette Valley
The beautiful wine region of Willamette Valley is located in Oregon, one of the main wine producing states of the USA. As in much of Oregon, Willamette Valley benefits enormously from the long, hot summers the state enjoys, and the mineral rich soils which typify the wine regions found there. Willamette Valley has built up a powerful reputation over the past few decades as one of the New World's leading producers of high quality, flavorful and characterful Pinot Noir wines, as the grapes of the Pinot Noir vine thrive particularly well in the region's climatic conditions. Willamette Valley is a fascinating wine region, and is a fine representative for the state of Oregon. Innovative techniques and wine making methods are fairly commonplace there, and the overall produce of the region seems to get better each year.

This youngster is only beginning to strut its stuff. A fresh combination of raspberry, cinnamon and saline aromas brings back memories of buying raspberry or cherry-flavored salt water taffy at the coast. Firm tannins flex their grip as the wine's red apple, cranberry, nutmeg and English breakfast tea flavors fill the mouth.

This Roserock entry bottling is a selection across the 35 blocks of Pinot Noir on Drouhin's Roserock estate in the Eola-Amity Hills—aromas of sweet florals and forest floor with a deep note of baked blueberry pie. The palate is sleek as cool blue fruits and warm baking spices, nutmeg and brown sugar lean into a finish of ripe sweet blueberries.
Winery Notes
Our Roserock Pinot Noir is vibrant to the eye, with the clarity of a perfect ruby. A pop of cacao and cola leaps from the glass, evolving into a fresh, pure nose suggesting crushed spices, bright red fruit, and a hint of blackberry bramble. The essence of sweet dried cherries is complemented by silky tannins and aromatic depth, highlighted by cranberry and plum. It’s approachable now, and the light grip upfront hints at its potential longevity in the cellar.
Excellent concentration and bold fruit flavors in this medium-bodied wine. Packed with black cherries, bright raspberries, tart blueberries and accents…
