2005 Big Fire Pinot Noir

[dananne]

We visited R. Stuart last summer, but didn't enjoy the wines. It may have had something to do with them being served too warm, and it tasted like the wines had been sitting out in the tasting room for a few days (maybe they don't change them out as often as they should when it's slow). At any rate, they weren't pouring the '05s yet. It'll be interesting to watch these '05s as they hit the shelves, as the buzz out there is that it may be one of the best Oregon vintages ever. We've only had one '05 so far, from Ken Wright, and it was stunning.

Thanks for the notes.
