<h1>Domaine Drouhin Oregon</h1> <h2>News And Events</h2> <h3><strong>2006 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley</strong></h3> <p>We are pleased to announce the release of our 2006 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley, a wine of beauty, depth and classic Pinot proportions. Built along the lines of the 2004, the ’06 is both inviting and serious – a wine that will age well (as all of our wines do) but is already a pleasure to drink. $45/Bottle, Save 10% on a case OR $23/Half-Bottle, $90/Magnum &amp; $200/Jeroboam The 2006 Vintage: 2006 is a vintage that Oregon vintners look upon fondly. After the smaller 2004 and 2005 harvests, a warm but mild growing season led to an easy harvest of exceptional quality and generous yields. In the cellar, our Pinot Noir moved gently through fermentation, always showing off the soft, pretty nature of the vintage. Resembling the wonderful wines of the 2004 vintage, the 2006’s trade a touch of elegance for a bit more power, but never does the balance waver. Véronique’s Tasting Notes: I find the 2006 very easy to love. It is pretty and charming and graceful, like the 2004, but with a slightly more masculine character. On the nose, the wine is full of bright cherry and intense small red berry notes, with a hint of spice. The mouth feel is lush and round, and very balanced, as is the elegant, long finish. It is a wine to enjoy now, or any time over the next 6-12 years.</p> <h3><strong>Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival</strong></h3> <p>Feb. 25 - March 2, 2008 One of the most celebrated and largest events in the Northwest, the “Playhouse” takes over gorgeous Vancouver for a non-stop extravaganza of amazing wines from around the world.

The changing colors are magical, as is the sense of connection one feels to the vines. Having watched these incredible plants progress from budbreak to flowering to veraison to full maturity, one can’t help but feel that they’ve earned the right to sleep for a while. Harvest 2007 will be long remembered as a vintage that demanded excellence from both the vineyard manager and the winemaker. Not that one ever gets a chance to ‘relax,’ but 2007 was more punishing to those who weren’t at the top of their game all year long. In the end, the extraordinary condition of our vineyards gave us the luxury of waiting for the right moment to pick each block. Over the course of nearly four weeks, we planned our moves, literally one day at a time. Exhausting, but necessary. Now, all of our Pinot Noir has been pressed and is safely in barrel. The emerging portrait of 2007 is fascinating, and clearly delicious. Stay tuned for more detail as it unfolds.</p> <h3><strong>DDO Direct Annual Louise Party</strong></h3> <p>DDO Direct Members, Save the Date: Saturday, May 17!
