Cloudline 2020 Pinot Noir is produced by the Drouhin Family of Domaine Drouhin. A consistently beautiful Pinot Noir, elegant and precise with ripe dark cherry, raspberry, fine herbs, subtly spiced, vibrant and silky on the palate with a long dark cherry and smoky finish. Pour with roast duck. The Drouhin family have been making Pinot Noir for generations in France prior to producing it in Oregon with consulting winemaker, Véronique Drouhin-Boss.

Pinot Noir food pairings: roast turkey or chicken, rabbit fricassee, grilled beef flat iron steak.

Terrific Turkey Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Lovely Oregon Pinot with aromas of tart cherry and violets on the nose. This wine is medium bodied, silky smooth with just a hint of tannins, med+ acidity, and bright berry notes with a hint of spice on the finish. Enjoy with pan-seared duck.
From the Drouhin Family of Domaine Drouhin, Cloudline 2020 Pinot Noir is elegant and precise with dark cherry, red berry, fine herbs, subtle toasty and smoky oak spice flavours vibrant on the palate. Pour with duck confit. Drink or hold. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
