The 2009 Pinot Noir Estate Selection reveals the ripe, easy-going personality of the vintage. It is a tasty, forward, easy-to-understand Pinot that like many of the 2009s is in need of greater depth and concentration. Erath is once again a name to be reckoned with in the Willamette Valley wine scene as the investment by the Chateau Ste. Michelle Wine Group is starting to pay dividends.Tel.
