2008 Oregon Harvest

I was talking to a good friend of mine today, Reuel Fish, founder and owner of Bishop Creek Cellars about the various types of BCC blocks, and he made me laugh when I asked if the 2008 Pinot was drinkable yet… A wine maker would have had to have really fucked up to make a bad wine with the 2008 Oregon harvest.
