Maybe I had a bad egg, but I found it thin and overly acidic. Very disappointed, will have to try one of the others in time I have remaining. In time it got no better. Visit my website: The Wine Forum

Still really youthful in 2005. Approachable but needs 3 more years to reach prime. Excellent.

More and more I believe the '99 vintage in Oregon does not live up to its hype - I much prefer the 2000s and to a lesser extent the '98s. Sandalwood flavors and aromas dominate this wine. Medium ruby red color with thick clear legs. Light mint, spice, plum, spearmint are discernable in this wine's quite complex nose. Somewhat lean on the palate, (just like most '99s) with high acidity and simple red fruit flavors. Seems more mature in the mouth despite the high acidity and foursquare flavor profile.
