TN: Benton Lane Pinot Noir 2002
Bought this Oregon PN for $13 and I'm surprised. It's not in a league
with a Siduri, Rozak, Hansel or Talley, but it's surprisingly good. Kind
of a cherry boquet but more darker fruits in the taste. Creamy with some
sophistication -- much more than other wines at the same price point,
like LaCrema. Almost no finish. I don't have the skill to guess if it
will improve with age. Like I said, not an exceptional wine, but I would
drink it again. And unlike a lot of other lesser priced pinot noirs, you
can defintely tell its pinor noir.
