Domaine Drouhin Oregon’s 2014 Roserock Pinot Noir is a 100% Pinot Noir from the Roserock estate in the Eola-Amity Hills, a site shaped by volcanic soils and the cooling influence of the Van Duzer Corridor. It was among the earliest releases from the Drouhin family’s newer Oregon holdings, and critics largely agree it delivers a distinctly Eola-Amity profile: bright fruit, earthy detail, and firm structure.

The wine’s aromatic range is a recurring theme. James Suckling gave an excellent 94 points, calling it “rather citrusy and floral on the nose” with “lots of earthy complexity” and concluding simply, “Vibrant. Drink now.” John Gilman (View From The Cellar) was similarly enthusiastic with 92+ points, describing a “deep and youthful nose” that mixes “red and black cherries,” “vinesmoke,” “lovely dark soil tones,” and “a dollop of fresh thyme,” noting “superb backend energy” and predicting it “will be dynamite with a bit of bottle age.”

On the palate, the reviews consistently point to tension and tannin. Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate) scored it 91 and emphasizes the savory side, citing “garrigue, bay leaves and underbrush” over “Bing cherries and cranberries,” and describing a “taut frame of chewy tannins” with a “racy backbone” and an “earthy/herbal lift…long into the finish.” Wine & Spirits (90 points) frames it as “a fairly dramatic departure from the Dundee Hills,” with “structure and tension,” “scents of raspberry and tree bark,” and a “tense frame of minerality…textbook Eola–Amity Hills,” adding that it “feels youthful; a wine to cellar.”

Wine Spectator also rated it 90, finding it “broad and expressive,” with “cherry and pomegranate flavors” and “pear and floral notes” finishing “against grippy tannins,” and suggested drinking from 2017 through 2024. Reported production varies by source, with Wine Spectator listing 12,762 cases and Wine & Spirits citing 2,065 cases.
