Claims of 1994 OR Pinots Death is Premature

[David1953]

I had a chance to try some of the 94 Pinots while in OR for business just before Christmas 99. The 94's I tasted were Adelsheim, Sokol-Blosser and Erath.

I found them all to be quite good, nice cherry fruit, maybe a hint of that Burgundian barnyard on the nose.

I tried quite a few other Pinots also and left Oregon convinced that the state is years ahead of California in the production of Pinot Noir.
