title: Dobbes Family Estate 2005 Cuvée Noir Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: This wine offers barnyard scents: saddle leather and silage, compost and herb. It's got the sort of aromas that are found in some biodynamic wines, smells of moist earth and what one winemaker calls the good funk. But it doesn't follow through in the mouth. It offers no depth and little weight, leaving an astringent, earthy impression. Maybe with time it will show more flesh.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Cuvée Noir
