26. Domaine Drouhin Winemaker's Notes: All our Pinot Noir is handpicked into 25-pound totes, then hand-sorted and destemmed at our gravity flow winery We use approximately 20% new oak with our Pinot Noir, which allows the character of the wine and vintage to show through Barrels are custom-made for us in Burgundy using oak from France's best forests On the nose, the wine is full of bright cherry and intense small red berry notes, with a hint of spice. The mouth feel is lush and round, and very balanced, as is the elegant, long finish. …… do you agree???
