I must apologize. I totally spaced and did not got to my locker for the 2003 Brick House. I suspect, that despite the vintage, this would have been a very fine wine.
Beyond that, the 2002s were great. And I think we confirm that all the hype about 2006 is ... well marketing bull. Well at least until the top wines are released.
On to the 2006 wines. The Scott Paul was the clear class of the field IMO.
Another great tasting. I do love Oregon Pinot, it is a way back from Burgundy but for price and reliability .... hmmm I love it. I love Cali pinot too but it was nice to have a tasting with some very fruity wines but no cloying candied fruit. I am very glad I can drink Pinot most nights of the week and have nice variety.
2006 Cristom Viognier Estate
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills
My first Oregon Viognier. A nice wine but far from inspiring. A bit of cream on the nose and some heat. The palate was more Roussanne like. Not much complexity on the palate. I enjoyed this and for the price was not disappointed but I was not wowed. Drink soon.
