2002 Erath Oregon Pinot Noir

[dananne]

Actually, as far as style is concerned, I find them all over the board, which is odd considering that it's an "Oregon" blended bottling. You'd expect better consistency, even taking into account vintage variation. If they have a house "style," I'm missing it. I loved the '99, and found it to be rather Burgundian. The last three have been sketchy, and it hasn't shown much in the way of varietal accuracy some years, either.

Quality? Eh. (Picture a shrug, which is hard to convey online.) For sub-$15 PN, I'm not expecting all that much, usually being satisfied with wines that actually reflect the varietal. Since many PN in that price range are either vapid or horrid, I'll take drinkable on most days.
