2005 EIEIO Pinot Noir E - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley (6/15/2007)
WIMLNR,NOWA,NOWS
Tasted June 15, 2007 at the tasting room in Carlton. Garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Brett nose that reeked of barnyard and forest floor, maybe some black fruits hiding in there. Flavors of black cherries and black berries. Medium acidity, light to medium tannins, light to medium body. I’d recommend an extended decant to see if you can get the brett to blow off. Not rated because I consider this wine flawed. NR (flawed)
