JS 92 pts Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2019 Domaine Roy & Fils

Domaine Roy & Fils Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2019 combines classic Oregon elegance with vibrant fruit character in every bottle. Crafted from sustainably farmed estate vineyards in Oregon’s renowned Willamette Valley, this wine captures the essence of a cooler vintage year—think 1993 and 2011—offering refined balance and bright acidity that define top-tier Oregon Pinot Noir.

James Suckling’s 92-point rating highlights its “juicy fruit-forward” profile: ripe raspberries and cassis mingle with hints of crushed juniper and hibiscus on the nose. The palate delivers silky tannins and a lively crunch reminiscent of fresh-picked berries, while subtle spices add depth on a finish that lingers with finesse. This medium-bodied red pairs seamlessly with roasted poultry or earthy mushroom dishes, showcasing its versatility at table.

Winemaker expertise shines through in this harmonious blend of two estate vineyards. The 2019 vintage’s cooler growing conditions yield a wine with purity of fruit and crisp freshness—a hallmark of Willamette Valley’s finest Pinot Noirs. At 13.5% alcohol by volume, it remains approachable yet complex, appealing to both casual drinkers and collectors seeking cellar-worthy quality.

Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment, this bottle stands out among Oregon Pinot Noirs for its precise craftsmanship and expression of terroir-driven character. Availability may vary by retailer; check local listings for current vintages.
