Hello all, looking for some opinion and feedback on these Oregon Pinot. Should I aged them? Are they ready now? Are they worth their price tag? Thank you in advance.

Both producers make solid bottles, but they’re quite different in style. The Willamette Valley one is probably drinking well now – 2022 was a nice vintage there and those tend to be more approachable when young. I’d maybe wait another year or two on the Dundee Hills since that vineyard usually makes wines that benefit from some cellaring ๐ท
As for pricing, really depends what you paid but Oregon pinots have gotten pretty expensive lately. If you got them for under $40 each that’s reasonable for these labels. The Dundee Hills especially can age well for 8-10 years if stored properly, so you have options. Maybe open one of each now to see where they’re at and save the rest? That way you get to enjoy them but also see how they develop with time ๐
