Saturday, May 26, 2012 - Memorial Day Weekend & Eyrie South Block Reserve Pinots (Willamette Valley, Oregon): Wow, what a wallop of sulfur on the nose. I overheard several people who didn't even try this it was so intense, and it didn't seem to be recently bottled either. After some vigorous swirling, most of it did blow off and eventually revealed some soft red fruit, slightly tart aromas, and plenty of barrel funk. Better on the palate, with soft red fruit and quite mild acid. Still good balance, if a bit light. Nice acid on the finish as well, with light red fruits and pleasing balance. Still not as good as the 2009.
