The 2022 Zéphirine Pinot Noir embodies the poetic qualities of our Roserock vineyard. It is alive with aromas of freshly picked raspberries, citrus, and marionberries, followed by delicate traces of rose petals and violets. On the palate, there is a vibrant mix of juicy strawberries, cardamom, fruit, and spice. Both subtle and strong-willed, the 2022 Zéphirine is charming in its youth, with a silky-smooth texture and balanced structure that promise a long future.

Roserock is an extraordinary vineyard at the southern tip of the Eola-Amity Hills, in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Ancient volcanic soils, an ideal elevation range and the unique cooling effect of the Van Duzer corridor produce classic cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Roserock is LIVE-certified sustainable.

Our Zéphirine Pinot Noir is a barrel selection cuvée from the Roserock vineyard, and is a reference expression of the site. Zéphirine conveys purity and beauty, reflects winemaker Véronique Drouhin’s dedication to elegance and finesse, and will age meaningfully for years to come. The name refers to the Zéphirine Drouhin variety of climbing rose, which is known for its fragrance and beauty.

"A richer red hue, the 2022 Pinot Noir Zephine Roserock is also more floral and has some savory elements, but it also has a more pronounced dark stone mineral tone, with violets, black raspberries, tea leaf, and toasted spices. Medium-bodied, it’s ripe but has fantastic linear drive through its floral-noted finish, and the lift almost suggests whole cluster, yet it’s entirely destemmed." Jeb Dunnuck 97
