Focus on Oregon Pinot Noir
Nonetheless, many of the wines from 2005 demonstrate intriguing restraint and focus (though detractors may call some of these wines malnourished, or even dilute) that will appeal to fans of leaner, lighter pinot noir. There was a dry, leafy quality to many of the 2005s I tasted, and I suspect that fans of the new wave of California pinot noirs, with their often extroverted, fruit-dominant personalities, will find vintage 2005 wanting here. But then Oregon may not be their bag even in the best years.
