Dobbes Family Estate 2005 Meyer Vineyard Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)

Country: US / Meyer Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Dobbes Family Estate / Dundee Hills

Tart, acidic red fruit—pomegranate, sour raspberry—is given some sweet spice and sandalwood from barrel aging. The all-too-typical earthy/herbal aromas that plague so many Oregon Pinots are out in force. The wine sits in the mouth, sour and tight, without enough weight or texture to hint at future pleasure.
