WTN: Threesome

2014 Phelps Creek Vineyards Pinot Noir Becky's Cuvée Columbia Gorge
Very nice, but just a tad less everything than one year ago. I'll plan to drink our one remaining bottle over the next couple months.

2004 Domaine Grand Veneur Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
Purple and opaque to start (not decanted). Gamey nose with blood and berries and a hint of new tires. Faded somewhat as we got through the bottle, good but not a wine I'd expect more from in the future; drink up.

2014 Josh Cellars Pinot Noir California
A supermarket brand, brought to dinner by a friend. Just decent. Easy to drink but thin and dilute for an Oregon pinot, tastes inexpensive.

The California Pinot was thin and dilute for an Oregon Pinot?

How was it for a California Pinot?

Well, shit. I could swear the bottle said Oregon, and then I just picked off the only plain '14 Josh Pinot on Cellar Tracker without noticing 'California'. I could go dig the bottle out of my garage but you know what, it's not worth it. No one on this board is going to buy it anyway. Including me.

Well that's a ringing endorsement!
