WTN: '05 Brandborg "Bench Lands" Pinot Noir

Small Oregon winery. Bright, light, clear color. Nice nose but the flavors are what set this $18 PN apart. Lots of strawberry, some leather and a touch of cherry. The fruit was dominate, no detectable oak but a finesse that was appreciated from this 13.4% alc wine. Had tasted this wine at a local wine store and bought 2 bottles. Great food wine and with my wife giving it two thumbs up I am looking for a case. One of the few PNs not from the Williamette Valley. Understand the Umpqua Valley is west of Williamette and near the coast.
