1/16/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: 88 pointsBlack in color. Big 15.5% ABV wine, though the fruit actually isn't too jammy. Still, a bit of a hot mess right now even with decant. I really liked this wine at a tasting 6 months ago, so I'm not sure how to explain the difference. Will wait a good while before drinking the other one. |

2008 Westrey Pinot Noir Oracle VineyardDundee Hills more |
1/6/2012 - Brandon T. wrote: 89 pointsFloral and berry aroma. Berry, mineral, hint of earth, and nice spice and berry again on lingering finish. Suspect this will be much more expressive with some cellar time. Medium body and modest tannin. |

12/31/2011 - Brandon T. wrote: 88 pointsFloral, mineral, apple, pear, touch of grapefruit. Tight, strong minerality and acidity, a bit stern. Moderate finish. Will save the second bottle to see how this ages. |

12/31/2011 - Brandon T. wrote: 88 pointsTight on opening, aroma blossomed after an hour decant but then retreated rather quickly. A bit awkward and oaky. Not bad, but hoped for more. I might wait a while before opening this one to see if it gets better. |

2009 Omero Cellars Pinot NoirWillamette Valley more |
12/16/2011 - Brandon T. wrote: 90 pointsPop and pour. Bright sour cherry, chocolate, with a dash of spicy oak on the finish. Improved on night two with more savory fruit character, some cedar/smoke/toast, and better-integrated oak. Drinking easily now with a light fruity style reminiscent of Beaujolais, though I would like to try it with a few years on it. Very good QPR. |
