Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 22, 2014 - Oops, Allen Meadows gives a drinking window for the 2010 Laurene starting 2020 -- I'm a mere 5 years off! That said, this wine is certainly drinking well right now. It helps to put yourself in the context of the Willamette Valley and not Beaune, no matter what the PR folks at Domaine Drouhin will tell you. This pinot is unmistakably American but with more poise and refinement. The fruit is still a tad heavy on the mid-palette with overtones more of wood than earth but overall the wine is well integrated and balanced. This is a much better showing than other recent tastings of Domaine Drouhin wines.
