Drouhin's 1989 is significantly better than their debut release, the 1988. The color is dark ruby, and the nose offers up aromas of sweet black cherries, spicy oak, and herbs. If I had this wine blind, I would be thinking of a top-notch Pinot Noir from the Cotes de Beaune, not from Oregon's Willamette Valley. On the palate, the wine exhibits excellent richness, a lush, velvety texture, adequate acidity, soft tannins, and a long, intense finish. Drinkable now, this wine should continue to age nicely for at least 4-5 years. Impressive!
