2005 Brandborg Vineyard & Winery Benchlands Umpqua Valley Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., 2,961
cases, $22, screw cap. This blend is sourced from several Umpqua Valley vineyards. All of Brandborg’s
Pinots are made the same way: small lots fermented separately with hand punch downs, gently
pressed and barreled “dirty” to 100% French oak, 33% new. This is the winery’s value bottling.
·
Attractive
wild berries in the nose. Plenty of likeable berry flavors, especially strawberry, with a little spice
and an earthy, mineral bent. Light on its feet and easy to drink.
