Oregon Pinot:

yes, lots of good ones, lately.
But... last night, odd you mention it, I had a wonderful Pinot from Faively: '96 Grand Cru "Eschezaux."
I couldn't resist it when I saw it on the winelist, obviously mis-priced.
Anyhow, it was medium-bodied, still w/some tannins present, not much sediment thrown, a nice browning beginning in the crimson color, and a taste of... port beginning in the finish.
I've only once before had that flavor, with an Oregon pinot of about the same age. Is this a common "end" for Pinot? It is, after all, the same grape in both, no?
