Typically Oregon Pinot’s in that $17-25 range are the table wines - OK but just barely that. One of the issues here is that GOOD Pinot’s cost $$$ unfortunately. I haven’t found many good, low priced Pinots and trust me, I’ve tried a lot :). Willamette Valley is OK. Haven’t tried Iris. Have tried many, many from Dundee and Carlton and they are noticeably better - the soil up in the hills is more volcanic than in Salem (Willamette Valley). Erath USED to be decent and low priced, but not the last few years… All in my opinion of course! Drink what you like :)

Really enjoyed your selection and comparison of mid-range Oregon pinots; these are really strong wines, but at reasonable prices which many can afford. Willamette Valley Vineyards whole cluster Pinot Noir will add some tannin and funk notes. More expensive and aged Oregon Pinots will have the leather and funk notes. Many more producers, and a range of soil and clonal variation, all point to the need for another flight blind tasting. Several Southern Oregon Rogue Valley producers do tempranillos in the Reserva style which exhibit the leather aromas. So for reference (and other Oregonians offer up some better phonetics): Wil-laamm -ette, Eeeola-Amity, and Chehalem (sch-eh -- hay-- lem).

If he had tasted a 2014 then it would have come first. I have drunk a fair few Oregon wines and have found the really good ones start coming into their stride after about seven years.

Oh, then Dr. Matthew, you must come and visit!!! The Willamette (pronounced Will-AM÷ette, like Corvette), is an amazing, diverse place. Shea sells his grapes to a dozen different producers, and the Chehelam soils are very sandy, so it would be fun to contrast vintage and AVA. Cristom, from the Eola-Amity AVA is also one of the older Wineries. Eola Amity, (where Brooks is also, has an Incredible diversity of soil types, and is actually a mini-mountain range with dozens of soil types and microclimes. It stretches 10-20 miles south of Dundee (Dundee is called the red hills for its iron rich soil, and is known particularly because of another founding father Dick Erath). So much great stuff here, with a diversity of expressions!!!

Solid Oregon lineup. I visited Cristom and Stoller. Only as tasting appointments. I didn't get to do interviews there. The mountain view at Cristom was killer. Hamilton Russel's SA wines are really nice. I haven't had the Oregon project yet. Not familiar with the Pommard producer, but I'm sure it's great. My preference, in order - Taz, Sancerre, Oregon, Burgundy, NZ/Rest of OZ, then the rest. Cali is normally not in my top picks except for cool climate. Stereotypical Cali is too fruity for me. Even though Burgundy isn't the top for me, I definitely won't turn it down and I'll buy it too. It's just not the first one I reach for for the money. 1er/Grand Cru or really great Village is a different story.

I don't even think they got any tax incentives like breweries did here till 2016... They should be bending over backwards to invite the investment if temps keep creeping up because the potential is huge given the quality leaps the wines have made already. I don't have huge hopes for long island long term due to flooding potential but certainly upstate.
