Patricia Green Cellars

I have decided to start reviewing beer and wine from my beloved state of Oregon and the surrounding areas in addition to cooking crappy food. The Pacific Northwest is a booze mecca. From IPA's to pinot noir, we got it covered. So without further adieu, let's begin:
Patricia Green Cellars makes some fantastic pinot noir so I was excited to see their most recent Willamette Valley release for the common man (i.e. under $15). Too bad it failed worse than your mom's child rearing skills. It tastes like someone dumped in kosher salt and shook it around for a while. I don't think there is a snooty wine term for that but it sure didn't have 'drinkability.' I accidentally left the bottle open for about 8 hours and it actually tasted much better but it still sucked. You will NOT score any points by bringing over this bottle. In fact people will probably laugh at you. Overall this wine is fucking gross and I give it a 1.5 out of 5. Sorry Patricia Green Cellars, but I have seen much better work out of you. Don't drink it.
