My annual Oregon report just hit print in Wine Spectator's June 30 issue, and that's excellent news for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay lovers. The heart of Oregon's wine production, Willamette Valley, continues its reign as one of the most dynamic wine regions in the country. The excitement is palpable across the state, as major players from the world of wine bring new energy and investment to the scene. The wines listed below represent the current-release 2022 and 2021 vintages, which are generally outstanding across the board, as validated here by ratings of 90 points or more on our 100-point scale.
Before Drew Voit launched Harper Voit in 2009, he had proved his mettle as a winemaker at Domaine Serene and Shea. He makes a range of small-production Pinot Noirs, and his sleek and vibrant Strandline bottling is a blend of grapes from some of his favorite vineyards. It delivers elegantly layered flavors of raspberry and tart cherry with a long finish.
This lineup includes the Drouhin Oregon Roserock Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills 2022, a top scorer, which is polished with Asian pear, floral and spice notes. Read on to get our score and full tasting note for this Oregon wine and seven others!
