2011 Domaine Drouhin Oregon Pinot Noir Laurene Dundee Hills


Wow! Great from the start (PnP).  
Drinking very well right now. This cuvee represents the pinnacle of pinot noir in Oregon. Compares very favorably to 1er Cru Cote de Nuits.
Pure and very elegant Rainier cherry fruit, refined tannins that bode well for future development, Balance is top notch.  Nice secondary nuances of sandalwood and sous bois. Hints of anise after a couple of hours of opening up.  
The florals on the nose are just as elegant. Not overpowering, just right.
Highly recommended.
