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.

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.
