Yamhill-Carlton district, Oregon..... Robert Parker - 92 points
"The 2008 Pinot Noir Domaine Danielle Laurent spent 13 months in 30% new oak before bottling without fining or filtration. Dark ruby red with an inviting aromatic array of balsam wood, exotic spices, cherry blossom, and assorted red fruits, on the palate it displays considerable elegance in contrast to the burly Hyland Vineyard. Velvety-textured, intensely flavored, and uplifted by lively acidity, it will evolve for 3-4 years and provide pleasure from 2013 to 2023."
