Roserock Zepherine Pinot Noir 2014

In Oregon, as in Burgundy, the Drouhin Family farms singular, expressive parcels of land. The Roserock Vineyard sits at the southern tip of the Eola-Amity Hills, in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and is marked by volcanic soils, cooler temperatures and an ideal elevation range. Farmed by Philippe Drouhin, Roserock is certified sustainable by LIVE.

The Zéphirine Pinot Noir is a barrel selection cuvée from the Roserock vineyard, and is a reference expression of the site.

The name refers to the Zéphirine Drouhin variety of climbing rose, which is known for its fragrance and beauty.
