  • 2015 White Rose Estate Pinot Noir Appellation Series Dundee Hills - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Dundee Hills (10/31/2019)
    Day 1: Fragrant nose. This is the first White Rose Estate wine I have tasted. For interesting featuring soy, rose petals, minerals, cranberry, spice and dirt. I can see this wine will evolve over the course of a few days. 90 points
    Day 2: Mushrooms, cranberry, soy, sweet fruits and spices. Medium plus finish. Quite complex wine and flavorful. Distinct style. 90 points
    Day 3: Earth, mushrooms, soy, minerals, cranberry and spices. Medium plus finish. Similar to day 2. 90 points
    Recommendation: $30 on sale a decant enough buy. Would not pay $45 for this. Should age for 5-7 years. (90 pts.)

I had this at the winery a while back and was underwhelmed; guess I don’t “get” the style. They won some sort of somm taste off in Portland a few years back and got lots of good publicity from it. Not sure I’ll even stop on my next Oregon trip; too much other good stuff in the neighborhood.
