Dear %%FIRST%%, On Saturday, February 11, we'll be hosting our annual Valentine's weekend celebration of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. If you won't be here with us in the Dundee Hills, we invite to enjoy a "for the love of wine" tasting event at home. Our soon to be released 2010 Chardonnay Arthur, the 2009 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and the 2008 Pinot Noir Cuvée Laurène, as well as the superb 2009 Maison Joseph Drouhin Gevrey Chambertin and 2009 Drouhin Vaudon Chablis allow for a fascinating comparison of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown in Burgundy and Oregon. Host a private tasting or simply save these wines for a special occasion. We hope you'll take advantage of this unique opportunity and enjoy a taste of romance wherever you are this February 14! Cheers, Ashley, Dara, Dyane, & Terrie

Véronique's Tasting Notes This Chablis is crisp and easy to enjoy now. Its colour is pale gold with greenish hues. The aromas are very fresh, reminiscent of lemon and grapefruit with a hint of fern and coriander. On the palate, this Chardonnay is dry and fruity, with excellent minerality, as you would expect. The finish is very pleasant with a nice, long aftertaste.

Véronique's Tasting Notes Intensely fruity on the nose, the aromas are reminiscent of black cherry, wild blackberry and liquorice...As the wine evolves, there are more complex notes, such as mild spice, nutmeg and leather. Later still, mushroom and damp earth nuances make their appearance. Delicious!
