Planet Oregon, Pinot Noir, Oregon

Served blind, slightly evolved brick edge. Cherry notes and chalk explode on the nose. Very ripe and long and still tannic. Another 5 to 10 years of life for sure. Drouhin rarely disappoints. 14.1% alc. I prefer their Oregon offerings way more than their Burgundy bottlings at a fraction of the price.

2017 vintage

While I'm not a fan of Pinot Noir, this was a good bottle. A bit of fruit on the nose and as it first crosses the pallet and then a nice splash of oak. Paired nicely with a lamb ragu.

2017 vintage

Great value. Cherry, baking spice, clove, leather. Nice balance.

2022 vintage

good solid Pinot for the price

2022 vintage

Nothing special

2017 vintage

Oregon Pinot candied strawberry and other red berry nose. Expressive Mountmorency cherry even reminds me of northern Michigan cherry wine. Soft approachable acid. Kind of entry level. Not much oak. A little white pepper. Really cherry, really nice not 90 but close.

2022 vintage

The 2017 Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir is less ornery than when I last tasted it in December 2022, but still fairly tight. Though unimpressive on the first night — it came off as sweet and insipid — twenty-four hours of air have revealed a light-bodied Pinot possessing abundant chalky tannin and ripe red fruit. Still fresh, this wine should improve over the next five to ten years.

2017 vintage

Tired. Drink now.

2017 vintage

lots of red fruits and cherry still but little else - easy drinking

2017 vintage

The wine looks violet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry, red currant and rose. It tastes like strawberry, raspberry and rose. The body is light. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

2022 vintage

cherry

2022 vintage

Cherry, pomegranate, and pine nose. Sour cherry, cranberry, light smoke, and spice notes. Zesty and smooth

2022 vintage

3.5. Wouldn’t buy again

2022 vintage

At 7 years, very smooth going down in the back, yet still bright enough for a rich flavour on the front of the tongue.

2017 vintage

Medium ruby. Nice nose, strawberries and red fruits, a hint of spice, and even a savoury bit. Palate is super - a big blast of fresh red berry fruit, with excellent acidity and some tannin support, so it stays on track, grounded. This might even be better in 2-5 years, although delish now.

2017 vintage

Beautiful earthy Pinot with dark red fruits and spice. Great now.

2017 vintage

Fresh fruit. Simple, but hey, its a tasty, well-tensioned $25 Oregon Pinot.

2022 vintage

PnP that opened nicely at about 45 minutes into it. Good varietal typicity of aromas and flavors, medium-bodied with avg+ complexity. My only nit was I was looking for a touch more acidity to brighten this up a bit. Glad to have tried. Now and the next several years. recommended

2017 vintage

A little one note. Wouldn’t turn away but wouldn’t buy again.

2022 vintage

Earthy, character, medium body, lacked the fruit and perfumed bouquet, drank easily with rack of lamb, spinach pie and hummus, last bottle, next vintage, DDO wines are all over the place with their taste.

2017 vintage

From our cellar. Aging nicely. Medium bodied. Very fragrant. Smooth palate. Juicy raspberry, cherry, tangy orange, and baking spices. Well-knit tannins and a nice long finish. Excellent. Drink now -2027

2017 vintage

note: I actually use the rating scale. 87 is not bad. ... but it reflects my lack of excitement, especially at a $20+ price point. Its decent. Oregon-y. Silky. Bright red fruits. Very fine grained tanins. Just not a lot going on to excite me. Color is par for the course, quite translucent, ruby red. Nose is bight with a slight spice note and slight sweetness. Body is silky, slight viscosity, minimal weight. Flavors of berries, which darkened over time. …

2019 vintage

A little past its prime. Still a decent wine, but 6 yrs is a stretch. Great with salmon. A very nice fall wine

2017 vintage

complex, rich, needed ample time to open - better next day

2017 vintage

A little more tight than prior bottle in March, but still amazing and I do use that word sparingly. Deep, more complex than I can describe. If you have any, I’d hold until fall 24, but it has aging potential for a few years beyond 24. Great value Pinot, but not inexpensive. Worth it.

2017 vintage

Just keeps getting better… Dark cherry, blackberry, thyme in nose Same fruits in flavor. Warm, juicy, smooth, welcoming (as in “Have some more!”). Really nice wine

2017 vintage

on first opening this was astringent with the cherry and red berry fruit very much to the fore - much, much better on the second day when everything had calmed down a bit - lovely

2017 vintage

Just coming into drinking window now, but will need some breathing for best results. Medium-bodied, tannins present but not the main event, elegant, rasberry and cigar box. Should continue to improve in the next several years but likely not a candidate for long-term aging as would be their better wines.

2017 vintage

Has aged gracefully, nice balance, smooth tannins with good acid, fruit well integrated in this medium bodied wine, 14.1%abv, drank with seared ahi tuna with cous cous and tomato basil olive oil red wine vinegar dressing, have another bottle, one of the better DDO PN’s that have aged, earthy and nice sipping to the bottom of the bottle.

2017 vintage

Dark cherry, liqueur, brambles, plum jam, baking spices, pot pourri, wet earth, marzipan - aromatic, but towards the dark and concentrated end of the spectrum. Milky, rich mouthfeel with a piercing line of acidity. Grippy tannins that become more prominent with time in the glass. Interesting and well executed, with room for further upside.

2017 vintage

Nuanced and layered with juicy, ripe blackberry pomegranate, spice box, orange peel, fungi, earth and sassafras. The nose is perfumed and foral while the palate is elegant with silky, polished tannins while remaining energetic and fresh with balanced acidity. Fantastic qpr and expression of WV PN fruit. Drinking well now with a couple years left.

2017 vintage

dark ruby colour in the glass with a medium-body complexion. red fruits are prominent in the nose, with some subtle floral and spice notes and whiffs of forest. bright fruit of cherries, cranberries and rhubarb lead the way, accentuated by a clear acidity, but buoyed by tannins of medium grip. very nice balance. layers being to emerge, suggesting more bottle age will do it good. nice long finish with a peppery twist.

In some ways this seems more reticent on the second night than it did on the first. Nicely earthy, and quite structured, with fine but definitive tannins. Good acidity. Moderate spicebox flavors. Will be interesting to see how it develops.

2017 vintage

마개를 따는 순간 퍼지는 과실 및 꽃향기 풍부하고 부드러운 향과는 달리 입에 들어가니 알콜이 다소 느껴진다. 하지만 금새 부드러워지는 입안의 맛이 달콤하게 변한다. 엄청나게 저렴한 가격은 아니지만 그렇다고 비싼 피노누아도 아니기에 이리 빨리 부드러워지나 싶었지만 다음날 마셔보아도 풍부한 향은 죽지 않았다. 4만원가격의 가성비 좋은 피노누아

Brought to Terbrueggen's Easter party

2019 vintage

Par for the course OR Pinot. Ruby color with aromas of earth and cherry. The palate shows cranberry, cherry, strawberry, blackberry, pepper, cola, and forest floor. Great QPR at $14 via Wine House.

2019 vintage

Red fruited with cherry and strawberry. Silky and pure. Delicious. 90

2019 vintage

Got this on a sale flyer recommendation for $17 a pretty good Oregon Pinot. Faded fruit on second night so don't think this is one to hold onto but enjoyable QPR first night. Will look to rebuy a few.

2019 vintage

Worth the $20 paid. But, for me, not worthy of the 92 points awarded by Wine Spectator.

2019 vintage

Had this one at Jungle Jim’s with Sarah. Defliciois! Oregon Pinot is always solid.

2019 vintage

Delicious table Pinot at a no-brainer price. Great fruit, acidity, color, nose and even finish. Keep the wine key in your pocket as this is a fun sustainable PnP that with a screw-top. Well done, Soter!

2019 vintage

Red fruit initially, cherry, raspberry, maybe a little strawberry. Becomes a bit more dark cherry fruit with air. A bit of spice and some bright acids. Quite nice for $20. Usually has decent scores for a value Pinot.

2019 vintage

A decent Oregon Pinot Noir paired with assorted cheeses. Strawberry, baking spice, clove, red fruit, earthy notes. Not surprising, based on name, from certified sustainably grown grapes.

2019 vintage

Initial aromas of pie cherry with tree bark and sassafras notes. Some funky slightly reductive sour cherry aromas, which blew off quickly. The balance on the palate was somewhat askew, with candy-like fruit followed by a citrus acidity that seemed particularly noticeable on the finish. Flavors are interesting but unsubtle and not particularly harmonious. Fruit is definitely of the red persuasion, including pie cherry, tart raspberry and rhubarb. Longish finish with some astringent tannins. Some good ideas here, but the …

2019 vintage

Very accessible Pinot, strawberry fruit, hint of cinnamon and pepper, solid body and nice finish, very well made.

2017 vintage

Clear and light purple Color, nose light with some Forrest floor and berry, entry is fresh cherry ripe berries , short moving to spicy acidity, med Body, med finish.

2017 vintage

A bit smokey, but nice with some bbq chicken. Relatively light body.
