Westrey 1999 Temperance Hill Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Temperance Hill
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Westrey / Willamette Valley

A bit shy on the nose now, showing herbal, vegetal notes, including tomato and beetroot, accompanied by flamboyant oak. It’s unyielding on the palate, too, with some solid tannins to shed. Could blossom after 2003, so give it time in the cellar.
