Let’s be honest, there is no winery in Oregon that has a set up anywhere near the one at Domaine Drouhin. It’s a breathtaking estate in the heart of Oregon’s oldest and most prestigious AVA, the Dundee Hills- home to heavy hitters like Domaine Serene, Drouhin, Eyrie and Antica Terra.
But unlike those other wineries, Drouhin is home to a 235-acre estate, a world class four-level gravity flow winery, a secret garden and one of the very best, most knowledgeable winemakers in the world, Burgundian Veronique Drouhin– who flies her private jet between her two estates in Beaune and Dundee making the wines for both Domaine Joseph Drouhin and Domaine Drouhin Oregon.
Veronique is wine royalty. No, I’m serious. She was born into one of the most famous wine families in the world. Her first sip of wine was an 1856 Burgundy. Wasn’t everyone’s?
In 1986, she turned down an internship opportunity from Robert Mondavi for what her father thought was a better fit in Oregon, where she was invited to learn from Adelsheim, Bethel Heights and Eyrie. Two years later, she and her father would establish Domaine Drouhin Oregon- becoming the first French winery to do so.
Since then, she’s been the standard everyone is chasing.
Her Domaine Drouhin winery year in and year out is one of the most decorated in the state, but in no vintage more so than the 2019 vintage.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills is defined, expressive and layered, with pure lavender, peppercorn and wild berry aromas and a velvety texture with bursts of freshness that highlight floral perfume and an array of spicy accents on the extended finish.

A very pretty combination of dried berries, smoke and cedar with some dried flowers, following through to a medium body, a solid core of fruit and a round yet firm, tannic finish. Young, but so attractive. Give it two or three years to open.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2019 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Combining the fruit from the northeast slope of Sonoma Mountain with their own famous estate vineyard, gives this wine a ton of expression, complexity and distinction. It’s unmistakably Sonoma Mountain, blessed with the iconic sweet, plush black fruit off the high elevation, cool-climate spot. Unsurprisingly, I’m also not the only one who really likes this wine – Virginia Boone from Wine Enthusiast agreed with my assessment, giving the wine a 93-point score and labeling it “classically structured” and “vibrantly approachable”. San Francisco’s International Wine Competition took it a few steps further, finding this wine as their 96-point Double Gold Medal winner.

It’s hard to imagine a wine that delivers more bang for your buck and consistency than what Herve Fabre is able to produce from his 100+ year old vines each vintage. Last year, his Malbec Reserva landed on Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Buys of the Year. I called a big score form this one and it has just arrived. It’s a big, full-bodied Malbec from the heart of Mendoza and has great tannic structure and primary fruit, giving it similar characteristics to a Napa Valley Cab. Inviting aromas of raspberry pie, sage, herbs and roasted mushrooms.
This year, the Eastside Cuvee hails from a primo vineyard just off the Silverado Trail– perfectly positioned next to neighbors Caymus and Frog’s Leap and just down the road, Quintessa. Amongst the elite, Carl Roy’s team locked into some incredible fruit, with gorgeous blackberry jammy opulence, firm grippy tannins and that signature Rutherford earthiness to the finish that many try to emulate but can only be produced off the special soil from which this beauty was created.
