The Patricia Green Eason Pinot Noir was a slightly cloudy, garnett red in the glass, offering a dustiness, almost talc like sensation to the nose. There was more earth to the scents from this wine than fruit, which continued delivering on the palate with sour strawberry flavors.

The Patricia Green 2007 Eason Vineyard Pinot Noir Dundee Hills (13.5%) was a bit disjointed in that halfway through each taste, it throws this funky curve ball at you that quickly drops like a sinking pitch. It just didn't seem very well integrated or balanced.

We paired this Oregon pinot noir with grilled pork loin that had been seasoned with olive oil, fresh garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Side dishes include baked waffle fries and roasted baby carrots along with a side salad of mixed greens dressed in olive oil and white balsamic vinegar.

At $30, I found this wine to not meet the bar based on a quality-price ratio. And it was even more disappointing to visit their web site and find nothing about this wine other than a link to buy it - no winemaker or tasting notes of any kind.
