So dark and rich, wouldn't you make the switch?
Impressively, almost uncharacteristically, dark for PN. Nose is all dense, crunchy red fruits, cinnamon, with a whiff of ozone/pool chlorine/dusty mineral. Frankly carnal in texture; fleshy and dense, with tannins so smooth that they belie new world origin.
Could be spectacular (almost auto-corrected to spextacular!) with the right food, though this could pass for Syrah.
Oregon Pinot Camp triangle of flavor: red/purple fruit, fleshy, spicy.

Oct 26th, 2020Good Oregon Pinot (Burgundy clone). Nice pale color, gentle but quite complex nose. A little fruits with tannic finish. 340 cases produced, nice wine from SD Wine Co.

Opaque, dark purple, no sediment. Vanilla, oak, sour cherries on nose. Very oaky, dry cigar box, tart red fruits on palette. Medium- body, long finish. Enjoyed this, but a little oaky for my taste, especially in a vintage like 2012.

Like you poured a Flanders Red beer on an asphalt road on a fall day in Oregon. And wild mountain strawberries. Lots. (If you don't like Brett, pass on this one. But I love it.)

Damp earth, mushrooms, black fruit, relatively high acid and light bodied. A delicious 2011.
