DOMAINE DROUHIN Chardonnay 'Roserock' - Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon 2019 Bottle

Description

Roserock is an extraordinary vineyard at the southern tip of the Eola-Amity Hills, in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Ancient volcanic soils, an ideal elevation range and the unique cooling effect of the Van Duzer corridor produce classic cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 99 points! - "The 2019 Chardonnay from Domaine Drouhin Roserock is absolutely stunning, and I simply can't put it down. It explodes with singular scents of fenugreek, sage and dried flowers streaked with graphite, and it glides across the palate like satin, an integrated tang drawing out lemongrass-like accents that add a touch of exoticism to this cuvée. It finishes with extraordinary length."

Wine Enthusiast 95 Points
"The 2019 is a stellar vintage with tremendous vitality and precision. The crisp apple fruit is underscored with refreshing minerality. And as the wine breathes open, a lick of butterscotch runs through the finish. The ageability of top Oregon Chardonnays is just beginning to be noted outside of the state, but wines such as this will certainly enhance the reputation. Drink now through the mid-2030s."
