TN: 1999 Cameron Brickhouse Pinot Noir

[Veloman]

1999 Cameron Pinot Noir, Brickhouse, Oregon: Deep ruby-red, with a blast of pure pinot aromas, along with earth and spice. Great mouthfeel, with layers of red fruit and lots of mineraly, spicy, earthy secondary flavors. Upon release the tannins were very pronounced, but in just a couple of years things are much more balanced and integrated. Drinking well, with many years ahead. Excellent complement to roasted pork tenderloin with braised lentil salad.

Also, 2001 Donnhoff Estate Riesling: What better accompaniment to puttering around with kitchen prep than this? One of the last bottles of a case, this is still fresh and vibrant, combining bright, juicy fruit with underpinnings of minerals, all balanced by crisp acidity. One of my all-time QPR wines.

Cheers,

Tom

Totally agree on the 2001 Donhoff Estate. Excellent wine at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, all mine have been consumed.

Welcome to eGullet and the Wine Forum, Veloman, and thanks for posting the tasting notes. That Donnhoff gets raves from anyone who tastes it.

For future notes, it's a nit picky point but, please begin the title thread with WTN. eGullet's software makes it impossible to sear for just TN (see the Pinned topic posted above). Of course, some people don't use a prefix at all.

Again, welcome aboard. We look forward to future notes and commentary.
