We have been holding on to this wine for BONDA for a year or so, waiting to try it. I would hope that producers release their wine when it is meant to be drunk, but this Pinot was nowhere near being ready for the list.
Surprisingly tannic, and extremely juvenile. Nose of brackish swamp and charcoal, following on the tongue with a backbone of sweet fruit.
After a time, it developed darker fruit, but not very approachable. Very austere Oregon Pinot - like the J. Christopher Charlie's Vineyard. You could say burgundian, with a little acid and a high alcohol notes.
This will wait in the cellar for awhile longer.
